This is a list of explicitly feminist geek groups (and events, etc) based on discussions coming out of Dropping the F Bomb on the Geek Feminist blog.
To qualify for this list, the group/event/etc must use the word "feminist" or "feminism" in publicly available materials, eg. on their homepage or "about" page.
Hacker/maker spaces[]
- Double Union - "Double Union is a supportive community for feminist activism. We are intersectional feminists, women-centered, and queer and trans-inclusive."
- Seattle Attic - "We are a feminist, woman-centered, trans- and queer- inclusive space for tinkerers, makers, crafters and hackers of all genders."
- Spanning Tree (still forming) - "Spanning Tree will be a feminist hacker/maker space for people who identify as women in a way that is meaningful to them, as well as agender people. We welcome people of color, trans and genderqueer women, and people with disabilities.
Technology[]
Meetups[]
- Computer Anonymous - "We think feminism is a good thing. Discussion of how to make computer more inclusive is welcome. Claims that this "has gone too far" aren’t."
Conferences[]
- AndConf — "AndConf is a code retreat and unconference for programmers with an intersectional feminist perspective"
- AndXP — "AndXP is a 1-day unconference in San Francisco looking at XP through the lens of intersectional feminism."
SFF conventions[]
- WisCon - "World's Leading Feminist Science Fiction Convention"
Online communities[]
- Geek Feminism (obviously)
Geek media[]
- Model View Culture -- there's no "about" page and the homepage just contains whatever is in the current issue (which included the word "feminist" at least once, at the time I checked); the copyright line in site footer reads "© 2014 Feminist Technology Collective, Inc."
- The Recompiler — "The Recompiler is a feminist technology magazine launched in 2015."
Other[]
Previous listings[]
Closed / on hiatus[]
These organizations have either closed or haven't had any visible activity in a year or more:
- Ada Initiative (closed 2015)
- Why Security - "We think feminism is a good thing. Discussion of how to make security more inclusive is welcome. Claims that this "has gone too far" aren’t." (Most recent meetings held in 2014.)
No longer explicitly feminist[]
The following listings at some point used the word feminist on their about page, but no longer do.
- Feminist Technology Exchange: content has been moved to Take Back the Tech, which does not make an explicit statement about feminism.
