Lots of help from Microsoft

Kenny Spade from Microsoft is helping us to connect to the people that organize DigiGirlz a travelling conference. He is also getting us in touch with Lego  - who make the amazing Mindstorm robots, which would make a really nice breakout session. He had great ideas for doing breakouts on other topics, like building video games for the XBox. We have to start working on the speaker roster and the program.

Kenny did a lot of work with Foothill college, who seem to be interested in working with us. We will meet Mike Murphy soon.

Community Leadership Summit

At the CSL unconference in San Jose today I met Rikki Kite, author of the rose blog about women in open source. She would be a great source for speakers and would also promote the event on her blog.

Updates

So we found someone who will organize the conference for us, recruit sponsors, etc.

We also pushed the date back to February to make it easier to find speakers.
