harrietHW

A community meetup for LGBTQIA+ folks who work with/in technology

Watershed

October's event is a Hacktoberfest hack night! Let's code together and complete the Hacktoberfest challenge. https://hacktoberfest.com/W﻿hat is Hacktoberfest? 🤔"H﻿ACKTOBERFEST IS DIGITALOCEAN’S ANNUAL EVENT THAT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO OPEN SOURCE THROUGHOUT OCTOBER. MUCH OF MODERN TECH INFRASTRUCTURE—INCLUDING SOME OF DIGITALOCEAN’S OWN PRODUCTS—RELIES ON OPEN-SOURCE PROJECTS BUILT AND MAINTAINED BY PASSIONATE PEOPLE WHO OFTEN DON’T HAVE THE STAFF OR BUDGETS TO DO MUCH MORE THAN KEEP THE PROJECT ALIVE. HACKTOBERFEST IS ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK TO THOSE PROJECTS, SHARPENING SKILLS, AND CELEBRATING ALL THINGS OPEN SOURCE, ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE OPEN SOURCE SO SPECIAL."T﻿his is a chance for us to get together and contribute to open source for Hacktoberfest!

Come along and say hi!We'll be in the PM Studio W1 -&gt; walk past the cafe bar and through the double doors straight ahead.🍕🍕Pizza (vegan and meat options) from the Stable will be served courtesy of our sponsor, the lovely Made Tech. Please get in touch if your business would like to sponsor us at future events! 🍕🍕Don't worry if you can't make it this time - we'll be running the event every third Tuesday of the month at the Watershed.We are generously hosted by the PM Studio at the Watershed, here's a bit about them:The Pervasive Media Studio hosts an international community of over 100 artists, companies, technologists, and academics exploring experience design and creative technology. We are a space for risk taking and early ideas; for the kind of projects and questions that inhabit the meeting points of art, technology, and society. Our projects span play, robotics, location-based media, food, connected objects, interactive documentary, new forms of performance and more. We have an open plan studio with a culture if generosity, curiosity, and interruptibility. We believe that by clustering people together from a broad range of backgrounds, with differing skills, experience, and opinions, all of our ideas become better. https://www.watershed.co.uk/studio/Hack the planet!www.queertechbristol.com
