Welcome to the Geek Feminism Wiki
A resource for and about women in geek communities.
1,207 articles since May 2008

The Geek Feminism Wiki is effectively in archival mode. New accounts are restricted from editing due to vandalism, and we do not have the volunteer labor available to whitelist new accounts and monitor activity. (Less than five people are actively involved with maintaining the wiki, and no new people have volunteered to help.) The content of the wiki likely reflects many undesirable biases, such as racism and ableism. We are keeping the content available as a community resource, but cannot update it, despite its flaws. You are welcome to fork and update content under the terms of the wiki's CC license.

The Software Freedom Conservancy's Outreachy program is a full-time internship program for under-represented groups of any age and background to spend 3 months contributing to a free and open source software project. The program is the successor to GNOME's Outreach Program for Women. It was renamed in 2015 and expanded to engage people from a range of under-represented groups.

The next round of Outreachy internships will have an application deadline on March 24, 2015, and internship dates from May 25 to August 25. Coding, design, documentation and other projects will be available. Applicants will be asked to select a project with one of the participating organizations and collaborate with a mentor listed for that project to make a relevant contribution to the project during the application process. Accepted participants will work remotely, while being guided by their mentor, and will receive a $5,500 stipend.
