Nerds de Batom (Nerds in Lipstick) have also confirmed attendance at Latinoware
Eliane Domingos, Carol Souza, Cris Geyer, Viviane Sousa and Desireé Santos are five confessed “nerds” who decided to get together to represent women in the area of Information Technology. Similar to Women in Technology (Mulheres na Tecnologia – MNT), their idea also stemmed from the realization of the lack of female presence in free software encounters.
“Our endeavor was for a space targeted at women, where we might explore the dilemmas and difficulties found, in addition to searching for and proposing remedies for the purpose of improving the feminine scenario in the area of IT”, stressed Desireé Santos, coordinator of the group and active participant of the Rio de Janeiro Arduino group.
Four representatives of this group will participate in Latinoware 2012, including in a round table together with MNT where issues in relation to the feminine cause will be debated. To actively participate in the group, women interested should send an e-mail to desisant@gmail.com or elianedomingos@gmail.com.
