Women Who Code Portland

2016年03月19日

Every month Women Who Code meet to talk about projects and network. This month the event was at Intel.

During the evening of networking, food and tech talks, Women Who Code Portland was fortunate to receive a $1,000 donation from Intel to help support our programs. Women Who Code is a global nonprofit dedicated to inspiring women to excel in technology careers. The organization has more than 60,000 members in 20 countries and 60 cities. In Portland, we have 1,200 members and we meet regularly for JavaScript study nights, monthly Networking Nights and technical workshops.

At the event, more than 100 attendees followed along as Mauri Whalen, Intel vice president in the Software and Services Group and director of core system software in the Open Source Technology Center, got the festivities started. She shared how she started programming in 1982 and how few women there were in her engineering program in college. She then spoke about Intel’s commitment to open source and the Linux ecosystem.


The rest of the night, we heard from engineers, researchers and directors working on Security, Internet of Things, Systems Engineering, Android, Chrome OS, quality assurance and user experience.

Constanza Heath, a security researcher in the Open Source Technology Center and a five-year veteran at Intel, spoke about the importance of releasing to open source. Upon joining the security team, she collaborated with Intel Labs to fix a cryptography issue by providing her own open source library, and once she released it, several groups within Intel started using her code.


Our future Networking Nights include stops at New Relic, Instrument, Treehouse and R/West. For more information and to join our group, check out our Meetup page.
