A reminder that the CFP is still up for @AdasList Conf which I'm producing this year. If you identify as a woman, come and give a talk, run a workshop, whatever. Tell ALL YOUR FRIENDS. #womenintech #stem #community #events adaslist.co/conf

There might not be a #Woodstock50 but I'm celebrating by asking women to help me reedit The Whole Earth Catalog for today. 1. Pick a word 2. Submit a related link, book, business you'd like a young woman today to read about. 3. RT. awwwcatalog.com/
As #makingitconf revealed there may be a Venn Diagram of Makers in the UK where they are obvs not one homegenous blob. But to my mind there are lots of things in common, and the big one is perceived value of the craft & product and how we raise that awareness

Sadly I can’t make it to this… but @makingitconf folks may be interested in The Prepared’s part time support role - bit.ly/2yqOp4p (best manufacturing newsletter I know)
Excited to be organising a conference on #makers, scaling up, making it (physically), making it (happen), and making it (a success) #makingitconf with @iotwatch. Held at @DoESLiverpool on October 12th 2018. Tickets at makingitconf.com/tickets/

It was, thanks! Nice to get the reminder of the 80s parallels that @smithadrianpaul had unearthed, and your global perspective on the overlapping communities #makingitconf

Huge thanks to all the speakers @makingitconf and particularly to @iotwatch and @amcewen for organising. I really got a lot out of listening to the experiences and challenges from leaders in and around the community. One of the very best events I've been to and I've been to a few
