Today's Webtip: Rails Girls
The Rails Girls Summer of Code is an interesting project. It's not just some giant coding workshop, it's a chance for students to be paid for expanding their skills and knowldge while working on open source projects.
So who can take part? Well, according to their F.A.Q.:
We’re looking for women who have participated in any Rails Girls, RailsBridge, or similar newcomer workshop, have participate in a Ruby/Rails study group, or otherwise are getting started with Ruby/Rails as newcomers.
Unlike Google Summer of Code, no status as a student at a university is necessary, and there are certainly no degree or age limitations.
This initiative is focused on bringing more women into the world of open source. Men are not excluded however women are given priority.
Anyone lacking in experience has a chance to get some, although not in time for this years event. Railsgirls.com will be offering a workshop this June in Linz.
