Anyone going to Grace Hopper?

[cme]

I have just leveled up in Workplace Negotiation by convincing my management to pay to send me to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing!

And even more exciting, our own denise said that she will be there and on a panel! (I went through the program materials as best I could, but they aren't usefully searchable so I wasn't able to figure out what panel she's on.)

Anyone else going? I'm taking the train to get there so I am no good for carpooling, but roomsharing might be possible? And we should definitely have a Dreamwidth meetup!

I'm just getting started in the dev community here, but I'll be at Grace Hopper and would love a Dreamdwidth meetup ^_^

Woefully, I will not be at Grace Hopper after all -- I went to cancel (due to the surgery I had last week) and it turned out the panel was never accepted in the first place! Massive miscommunication problem.

Hopefully I will be able to meet up with you another conf!

Congratulations on the persuasion! \o/

Sadly I won't be there, but my colleague will and she's lovely and you should meet her. Leslie Carr will be staffing the open source booth:
* Wednesday: 11-noon, 8pm-9pm
* Thursday: 5pm-8pm

Also, my employer, Wikimedia Foundation, sponsored the Latinas in Computing Scholarship for GHC, enabling an engineering student to attend the conference. Again, yay Workplace Negotiation! :D
