I hereby claim:
To claim this, I am signing this object:
I don’t necessarily have 10 tips, I just read way too many Medium articles and I think in clickbait titles.
A couple years back a coworker worked through the Rails Girls guides with me and I decided I wanted to host a Rails Girls workshop just like the one you’re attending today. The guides gave me a taste of what the world of web development is like - and I loved it. I wanted to spread that love. I have since hosted 4 Rails Girls workshops (in Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden and Linz, Austria), several workshops using the Rails Girls guides (during EU Code Week) and coached at a gazillion Rails Girls workshops (like in Brno, Berlin and Maribor). And I contributed to the Rails Girls Summer of Code project.
I am not a developer. Nor was that ever really the goal when I started learning programming. A future in tech can be a lot of things and I am rather a technical marketeer, writing technical documentation and maintaining good relationsh
Facebook is the absolute worst. They keep locking me out of my account as they suspect that I am not using my 'real' name, urging me to upload an official documents or an ID of some sort to prove that I am indeed 'Floor Drees'. Admitted, 'Floor' is an abbreviation of my first name, but one I have been using all my online life (and long before that). I refuse to give Facebook my real name or upload documents that surpass the level of museum member pass or drug store member card.
At first I thought what a great opportunity to finally delete my Facebook account. But then again, can I really do without Facebook as an event organizer and admin of at least 3 non-trivial pages?

To all the people waiting for me to get shit done: I am terribly sorry.
I carved out 40 minutes today to (hopefully) help a software developer with a ton of experience getting back on 'the market'. After a 10 year babies break she - funny how it is always the women trading in their careers huh? - has a difficult time finding an employer to take her and her > 12 years of experience on. She went through a series of interviews that read like horror stories. And we wonder where this diversity gap comes from...
Looking at her profile any company would be lucky to have her. She is both determined and excited to move more in the direction of web and mobile development and leave the systems engineering and more corporate languages (think Matlab, C++, C, Oracle, Unix/Solaris) behind her. I made a list with languages, technologies and related 'stuff' she might want to make herself familiar with, before heading off to any more fruitless interviews. I decided to sha
###The ROSSConf project, or: helping Open Source help Open Source
Last April Saturday ROSSConf Vienna took place. Sixty registered participants, some loose canons, 5 projects, 6 maintainers, 8-ish team members, 1 baby all in one coworking space. Here's what happened.
####In the beginning October last year, at arrrrcamp, I came up with the concept for ROSSConf. Having attended 1001 tech conferences (I haven't kept count) I concluded that I'm always missing something. I found myself listening to a talk and wishing I could contribute to the project discussed but the internet connection wasn't sufficient for cloning the repo, nor was there time to hack on the project as the next talk was about to start. And, I figured, I'd need some time to get into the project and the contributing etiquette before being able to contribute.
