What
In the attempt to attract more girls / women to take part in our activities, we want to make an atmosphere that is welcoming for women, who often do not feel comfortable enough in predominantly male company which is typical for hackerspaces - at least till they get to know them!
During this evening we will get to know each other, talk about our projects and exchange experiences and interests, and plan the future events and activiites.
This is an event *open both to members and non-members*, _men are going to be tolerated since we want to be inclusive_, but the emphasis is on the *ladies* company: net-grrls, ladies and vriendinnen, girls, women, moms, cyber-feminists, female hackers, nerdettes, goddesses.
- to be a majority at least for one evening :)
