**Brian Ketelsen:** Perfect. |
**Sarah Adams:** So I suppose I could on the say on the site, "If you wanna start a chapter..." |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think it's great when things kind of grow bigger than you can keep track of anymore. |
**Sarah Adams:** It's amazing, especially when it's such a cool cause, trying to get more women into Go. |
**Erik St. Martin:** This is probably the first community that I've been a part of that at least visibly had these big women-only -- I'm not saying women-only, but advocating more women get into the community. There probably exist, but it definitely didn't feel as prevalent as it is here. I've been watching Twitter and... |
**Sarah Adams:** I know, it's awesome. There are a few meetups that I've been to, like Pythonistas and Women Who Code has a Ruby Tuesdays for women, but I haven't come across any other women's group specific to a programming language that is spread across multiple chapters. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I've seen Ladies Who Linux, that's gotten bigger, and there's an Infosec one too, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** There is also PyLadies. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh yeah, PyLadies... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** PyLadies, Rails Girls... |
**Sarah Adams:** True, yeah, so there's a ton... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** But it feels stronger in the Go community, and I love that. I love the push to have that inclusivity and that feeling of safety, so anybody can come in and learn without worrying about external factors. That's very nice, so be proud of what you've done, this is really cool. Like you were saying earl... |
**Sarah Adams:** Yeah, that's exactly it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Anything that gets more people involved is always a good thing. |
**Sarah Adams:** Yeah, I agree. |
**Erik St. Martin:** More conferences, more meetups, more blogs, more podcasts... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I think there's also a good opportunity to break some misconceptions - there are additional opportunities to break misconceptions here. There are so many misconceptions that women cannot program, or even we ourselves say "Maybe I cannot program" or "Maybe I can program but I cannot be a great pro... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I think in STEM in general there's a lot of that, being critical of other genders and their ability to do the job, and I think it's just naive. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, but it exists, so... |
**Sarah Adams:** That's one of the things I love about the Go community so much - when those things pop up, people seem to be sort of all over it, like "That's really not okay." And I love how much time and energy that people like Andrew Gerrand and Jason Buberel have put into the code of conduct. Our code of conduct t... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I really applaud that effort as well. I think that that was a fantastic thing that happened. And in general too, right? I know Carlisia and I have had conversations about this before - everybody be nice to each other, what's hard about that? That was one of the things I loved about this commu... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Exactly. |
**Sarah Adams:** Yeah, and I think since we started being really inclusive and being aware of that when we were so small - I really think that it's gonna help us as we grow, to maintain that sense of inclusivity and safety, as opposed to other languages who are sort of trying to tack it on... After they've grown a lot,... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So for the women who are listening to the podcast or listening live, if they go to WomenWhoGo.org they can see a list of chapters. Will that give them the ability to find when the next meetings are? |
**Sarah Adams:** Yes, exactly. There is a list of all of the Meetup pages, or in Tokyo's case the Connpass. There's a Twitter account for each chapter, and some of them have Facebooks, and they're on Slacks. There are links for all of those on the WomenWhoGo.org site. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And you said for people interested in potentially starting their own chapters, the best thing to do is to email you at hello@womenwhogo.org. |
**Sarah Adams:** Exactly. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Great topic. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah. And on that note, I think that we are just about out of time for this episode, so unfortunately we get to say our goodbyes. But before we do that, we typically do the whole \#FreeSoftwareFriday where each of us just kind of briefly mentions a project that we are kind of grateful for, just to ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'll start it off. My \#FreeSoftwareFriday shout out this week is to the thousand plus people who have contributed to Docker. I still love Docker as a build tool and a deploy tool. Docker is a lot of fun and it has made the easy things easier and some of the hard things more accessible, and caused m... |
**Sarah Adams:** I'm gonna shout out to the folks at Apiary, writing the Apiary Blueprint spec. It's really awesome, and you guys have been very accommodating about my documentation change requests. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's awesome. Carlisia? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I have two today. I will real quick give a shout out to remotemeetup.golangbridge.org, it's the Go Remote Meetup initiative that a few people are coming around to. It's what the name says - if you want to give a talk online and reach people who are not in your physical community, hop on there, we... |
The other one that I've been meaning to say for the longest time is the Sourcegraph Chrome Extension. Install it on your computer and then go to GitHub and when you look at code, it's gonna be magic. You just hover your mouse over functions and constants and you get all sort of extra information that you don't have to ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And we actually have Beyang, one of the co-founders of Sourcegraph, lined up for an episode. So that will be coming up as well. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes. |
**Erik St. Martin:** For me this week - and hopefully I pronounce this correctly, because I don't think I've heard anybody say it - it's Rofi, which is a kind of an application launcher and window switcher for Linux, and I use that while I'm in i3 to open up new programs instead of dmenu. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** +1. |
**Erik St. Martin:** What's that? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** +1, Rofi's awesome. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, and recently they had a new release that brought a lot more features and made it look a lot prettier, so I've been having a blast with it. With that said, I wanna thank everybody, I wanna thank the panel - Brian and Carlisia - and I certainly wanna thank Sarah for coming on the show. I wanna ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'm glad to be here. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thank you. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Thank you, Sarah. |
**Sarah Adams:** Thanks. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Bye. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thank you, Sarah. |
**Sarah Adams:** Thank you. |
