Event Title

ClojureBridge Malmö

Location

Locale: Sweden

Venue: Jayway Syd, Hans Michelsensgatan 10, 3rd Floor, 21120 Malmö, Sweden

Description

ClojureBridge aims to increase diversity within the programming community by offering free, beginner-friendly programming workshops for women.

This ClojureBridge workshop will be held in Malmö, Sweden and is intended for those with none or some programming experience. We will use Clojure, a modern programming language running on the Java virtual machine, to introduce you to fundamental programming concepts. You will learn and practice in small groups of 2 to 4 attendees each. To register, you must identify as a woman. Men, you are welcome to come if you find a woman who wants to learn programming, and who will register and bring you as a guest.

In this workshop, we'll take you through building a sample app using Clojure. We'll meet up Friday night at Jayway's office in Malmö to install all of the software you need. Then we will spend Saturday, also at Jayway, learning and writing code. There will be dinner provided at the Friday installfest, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner provided at the Saturday workshop. You are welcome to stay for drinks after the workshop on Saturday evening.

Each participant needs to bring their own computer with a fairly recent Mac, Linux or Windows installation. If you have questions about your hardware, email one of the organizers before the event! The workshop will be held in Swedish.

Here's a quote from one previous attendee:

Many thanks for a very inspiring weekend. And generous! You were so many teachers, all the food and drinks, and all the free material you gave us. I'm so glad I came to the workshop!

Our main sponsor Jayway provides the venue, food, drinks, as well as everything we need for the after work(shop) party. We also have other very generous sponsors. All attendees will receive a free ebook version of Carin Meier's Living Clojure from O'Reilly. All attendees will also receive free high-quality Clojure instruction videos from LispCast.

Hi @ulsa, It looks @jgkite is super busy, so I added the event. I think the event page look good. But, if any, write a comment here.

[ulsa]

O'Reilly is missing in the list of sponsors on the bottom left. The sponsors' logos and links seem to be missing to the right, below the "A huge thanks ...".

[ulsa]

Also not sure about the map. It's very zoomed in, yet doesn't show the exact location of the venue. A better link is this.

[jgkite]

I'll have a look today. I didn't see these requests at all. I'll double check my notification settings. Sorry!!

@ulsa I'm not really sure what to do about the map. The street address you gave shows a street that's a small walk from the point on the map you linked to. I'm not aware of a good way to get Google Maps to force the point to show up that far off the road.

We could add a bit of text to the description that describes where to walk, remove the map altogether, or even include the image above :point_up: in the description.

[jgkite]

@ulsa I've added O'Reilly to the list of sponsors. The logo link you provided didn't work, so I re-used one from another event. Please let me know about the map and any other issues that remain.

[ulsa]

Actually, the location of Jayway in Google Maps is wrong. Can't believe I didn't see that. I have submitted a change request to Google, but have no hopes of a change soon. This is the correct location. So "Hans Michelsensgatan 10, 211 20 Malmö" seems to be the correct Google Maps search term.

[ulsa]

I got the link from Betsy on O'Reilly, but it links to a Google Doc that might not be publically available. It's fine with some other link.

[jgkite]

@ulsa It looks like the map we're showing on the event page matches the Google Maps link in your latest comment. Are we good then?

[ulsa]

Could you remove my GitHub handle and change the text to "FIND THE ORGANIZERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA"?

[ulsa]

Map is perfect now. Thanks.

[ulsa]

Don't see any logos yet, in any browser.

[jgkite]

Could you remove my GitHub handle and change the text to "FIND THE ORGANIZERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA"?

No, I can't. We have intentionally called out organizers by name so that attendees feel they have a face and a name of someone to talk to when they get there. Each organizer's social media contact info is listed individually. I can remove that section entirely for you, which I have done.

[jgkite]

Don't see any logos yet, in any browser.

Please make sure that you do not have an ad blocker installed. The logos are there:

[ulsa]

Of course I had an ad blocker. Logos are fine.

[ulsa]

It's just that my GitHub account is pretty miserable, since I mostly work on private repos. My Twitter handle @ulsa would be fine. In that case you can remove @ClojureBridgeOS.

[jgkite]

@ulsa I have added your Twitter handle back and added @ClojureBridgeOS as Katarina's Twitter handle so that you are both mentioned. I can change it to her real Twitter if she'd prefer.

[ulsa]

She's not on social media. You can remove her and just keep me as organizer.

[ulsa]

I can't see the LispCast logo, just the other two.

[yokolet]

@ulsa Durham also had the same problem. It looks there's a web app bug on many-to-many relations. I guess Jamie attempted some but couldn't make it. Probably for some of related this, ListCast logo's gone. I added the LispCast, so right now, the logo is on the web site. Let us know if this happens again.

@ulsa I'm going to close this issue since the workshop was over. Please write a report to workshop mailing list and share with us. Additionally, you can make pull request to the doc, http://clojurebridge.github.io/community-docs/2015/09/19/malmo-swe.html
