speak.net.nz getting ready for launch
One of the many things that came out of the NZ girl geek dinners movement, is I was inspired to build a website.
Many organisers of technical conferences, meetups, and dinners want to have more gender-balance in their lineups, but they don't know where to find technical women speakers.
Enter http://speak.net.nz, a simple directory and connections system to help technical women speakers and event organisers to find each other.
I built this on Tuesday night, while watching Battle Star Galatica, and eating lemon pie (thanks drupal!!)
I need a few more women to sign up for launch. The site will launch early April.
If you're a women working with technology, even if you've never spoken infront of a group before, please register list your expertise.
My plan is for this to make women who build technology more visible in New Zealand.
