Just want to add, this conference is for women in open tech AND culture - in the past, about 40% of attendees do not have jobs in IT. Applications for AdaCamp Berlin are currently running about 30% Wikimedians and we are hoping for 50% Wikimedians across AdaCamp Berlin and AdaCamp Bangalore. In particular, we are hoping to continue the great conversations started at the Wikimedia Diversity Conference last year hosted by WM DE.
