About this group
CodeChix - cool developers and brainy chicks meeting face-to-face and gadget-to-gadget in a non-alpha, language/os agnostic, supportive environment and creating great things…
This is a group for women only. However, we are happy to have men come and support us by speaking about technical topics, sharing programming know-how and being supportive of us in all that we do.
Our motto: "May the code be with you…"
Our Main Goals:
- Monthly hacking sessions - face-to-face and mentoring with experienced techies
- Monthly informal get-togethers to discuss tech issues and projects
- Programming/problem solving in a non-alpha, supportive environment
- Working side-by-side on projects with other women and building great relationships on a personal level
- Speaker series with prominent proponents of code and all things code-related
- Education through workshops, seminars, outings
- Networking
- Spreading the word and support to other geographical locations for local CodeChix chapters

This is a free group and we run on donations. We try to keep things democratic, so, pretty much everything is up for vote and the wishes of the majority rule. This seems to work reasonably well.
