H.I.C.K. Tech is a 1.5 day conference taking place in Owen Sound Ontario April 30-May 1, 2007 on beautiful Georgian Bay. It will focus on three main components: professional development for local IT professionals; demonstrating the benefits of being on-line to local businesses and organizations; and to showcase our local talent via a trade show and workshops/seminars. It is our hope this conference will help to match organizations with appropriate technologies and to appropriate, local technology firms.

FSOSS Symposium has a great line up of thirty+ speakers this year…but not a single woman. I know there are women doing open source things because I happen to be one of them. Granted I don’t work for Mozilla or Google or Bryght or Novell or any of those other fancy places…but surely to goodness there has to be ONE OTHER woman out there who works in a fancy enough job to catch someone’s attention….no?
