Hey gals..
Donna Metzlar and I are proud to announce a new 'women
in high-tech'
event in Amsterdam, called the Amsterdam Girl Geek
Dinner (GGD).
Inspired by the Girl Geek Dinners in London (Brussels,
Berlin, San
Francisco, etc..) the Amsterdam GGD will consist of a
buffet dinner and
an informal presentation by a female invited tech
speaker, followed by
drinks and networking.
Men are allowed to attend the Girl Geek Dinner..
But ONLY if they are the invited guest of a female.
;)
Here is the scoop:
Date: Thursday, 10 April, 2008
Time: 7-11 PM
Location: Flexbar (Pazzanistraat 1, 1014 DB,
Amsterdam)
Cost: 22.50 Euros (buffet dinner, excluding drinks)
Speaker: Fabienne Serriere
Title: Hardware Hacking on the Cheap
Abstract:
Sometimes the best projects come from the least costly
solutions. From
scavenging for old parts, online auctions of used
gear, to just plain
old
trashy gadgets: making stuff doesn't require a labful
of expensive
instruments and parts. Some of the projects that will
be highlighted
include: embedding controls for wearables,
multichannel audio, realtime
controllers, and more.
Biography:
Fabienne "fbz" Serriere is a futurist at heart, but
one who believes
that
the future should be present during the present. She
splits her time
between hardware hacking, future fabric prototyping,
photography,
obsessing about prime numbers, and adding to her
vintage and modern
gadget
collections. Her personal site is:

The intention is that the AMS Girl Geek Dinner will
become a regular
event. (Perhaps once every 2-3 months.)
More information and registration can be found at the

Cheers!
Melanie
