[liberationtech] Cryptocat Hackathon, NYC, August 17-18!

[Nadim Kobeissi]

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share the happy news that the Cryptocat Hackathon has a sign-up rate composed of more than 35% women so far. This is really awesome.

Having more women participating in such events may help bridge the gender gap in the tech scene. I'm glad that for some reason Cryptocat is attractive to both genders. I think it has something to do with the focus on accessibility and the fact that cats are appealing to everyone, no matter your gender! :3

Let's hope for a 50% women sign-up rate next time!
