Yes folks you read that right Germany too has chapters of "Girl Geek Dinner", and this time Adobe is sponsoring it in Munich.

To be perfectly honest until I read about it on cfug.de I had no idea that Girl Geeks had their own societies with the Geek world.

I think it's great that just girls (women) get to mingle just with women as typically the ratio is what 20:1 (20 men:1 women) or more with most organized tech events. I think max was more like 100:1 (If I don't count the Adobe Marketing/PR/Developer relations employees).

Women in the IT industry are a serious minority so I think organizations like this are really important. They get to socialize and network without a bunch of male geeks polluting the air with Testosterone.

And don't forget to mention that there will be a women only BarCamp in Munich next weekend, too. ;-)

Info about the BarCamp can be found at http://www.groops.de/barcamp (German page)

THough not achieved here, the Girl Geek Dinners have the advantage of usually being half men half women, thus making a different gender balance than usual. ;)) See http://girlgeekdinner.com for more inforamtion on that. And if people add themselves to the newsletter, I will ping them in time about new meetings. ;))
