Hey everyone! RITlug is having our meeting this week, and I wanted to share our topic here on this mailing list too. As always, anyone is welcome to attend and participate, whether you're a student, alum, or faculty. :-) === Last May, Red Hat and the open source community honored two exceptional women, Avni Khatri and Jigyasa Grover for the “Women in Open Source” award. This week, the RIT Linux User’s Group (RITlug) looks into the history behind the role of women in open source and tech communities. We examine the invaluable and extraordinary accomplishments of pioneering women that changed the foundations of open source and are paving the way for future generations of women to do the same. Our meeting starts at 4:00pm on Friday, October 20th, in GOL-2650 (large DB lab). === tl;dr: * Day: Friday, Oct. 20th, 2017 * Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm * Where: GOL-2650 (large DB lab, 2nd floor of GCCIS) === Hope to see you there this Friday! -- Cheers, Justin W.
