Hi,

Initially I felt despondant as I thought that the geekdom existed purely for those in programming, I am relieved and excited to see that this also includes integrated communications..something that I worked in for 20 years (guess I am more of a free range chicken that spring chicken!). Often the odd one out at conferences etc due to the skirt (unless in scotland) but worked my way up. I am now on the other side of the fence and trying to find people to work with the startup companies that we work with.

There is special funding (whether we want the preferential treatment is a question for another time) for businesses with women at the top. But getting funding can be tricky as we all know and that is where we (there are more people in the company than just me!) work to get the other people to work with you for your business to suceed.

I have seen loads of discussion groups and most of them are cringworthy with their offers of help. Fact..we are not a charity. Fact we really do work for you and with you. Fact I love honesty and integrety and I hate bullshit!

You can find me on twitter and I am just updating my webjam presence.

Go Girls..together we REALLY can change the world.

I LOVE this group! How fantastic to finally have a girl group for geekdom! hoorah!

I’m interested in a Girl Geek group in Birmingham, is there one? Could I start one? How would I go about this?

I am a big techno-geek. I work in multi-site networking solutions for a systems integrator as a Strategic Account Manager and I have been in the industry for 10+yrs. I love anything to do with technology and networking and am keen to build relationships where I can learn more or teach others.

Thanks for your help, and for a fantastic group!

@Maya

If you have the time to convert the audio into text then do feel free to do so, I’ve waitied to post your comment whilst trying to find the time to do as you suggest but have so many different things to do with looking after the .com and London GGD stuff that i just don’t have the time to type it all out. If you do convert it just e-mail it in and I’ll post it here with the audio.

Many Thanks
Sarah
