[Linux-aus] Ballarat Hackerspace reporting in - Women's Wednesdays milestone 1 complete

[Robert Layton]

Hi everyone,

Checking in here for milestone 1 for our Women's Wednesdays - success!

We launched to a full class, overflowing with other interested people
coming in the door for a chat. We got coverage in the local paper and local
TV as well, including some great coverage of the hackerspace in general. We
had approximately 20 people there for the night.

We have also increased our female membership. We still have some way to
reach our goal of 20%, but we are now moving in the right direction.

Success Measure #1: Having 10 women undertake the workshop - complete
Success Measure #2: Women membership percentage at 20% - in progress

This week we have some local politicians coming in for a visit, local
female entrepreneurs, and will continue on with the Raspberry Pi workshop.
Additionally, we are still getting lots of interest from women wanting to
join up to the Raspberry Pi workshop, meaning we will definitely look to
run it again after the completion of the 3D printers.

Thanks for your support, next update comes in a few weeks (although you are
welcome to drop by and see for yourself!)

- Robert
