Apart from Black Girl Tech, some have gone to Codebar, Women Who Code, Trans*Code and Code First: Girls. If anyone can suggest other groups that would be interested then please let me know!</div> <div><br></div><div>There are no strings attached and there’ll be no fanfare or special treatment - I just hope that offering free tickets will remove one of the barriers that may be preventing some people from attending developer events. I’m also open to suggestions if anyone has any other ideas for making the conference a safe and welcoming event for everyone.</div><div><br></div>Cheers<div> Simon<br> <div id="bloop_sign_1455285484002028032" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px"><div apple-content-edited="true" class="" style="font-family: 'helvetica Neue', helvetica;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; line-height: normal; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">--<br class="">Simon Starr</span></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">t: </span><a href="https://twitter.com/sstarr" class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">https://twitter.com/sstarr</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; line-height: normal; border-spacing: 0px;">w: <a href="http://simonstarr.com/" class="">http://simonstarr.com/</a></span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <br><p class="airmail_on">On 12 February 2016 at 10:31:14, Murray Steele (<a href="mailto:murray.steele@lrug.org">murray.steele@lrug.org</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div></div><div>
