Women in markup

    If you’re on this mailing list and identify as a woman, you might
    like to also join the Women in Markup group on Facebook:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1342179350820721/?ref=share

    The
    aim is to create a safe space to share challenges and seek support,
    suggestions, etc. — the everyday stuff — but also somewhere we can
    swap ideas for potential conference paper topics, find
    collaborators, etc.

    It doesn’t matter whether you work with markup for a living or in your
    spare time, nor how technical you consider yourself — there won’t be a
    test.

    I created the group on the spur of the moment, inspired by a
    suggestion at last month’s (excellent) XML Summer School. It’s on
    Facebook because I was more concerned with creating it somewhere,
    quickly, instead of striving for perfection and not creating it
    anywhere… I’m open to creating parallel spaces on other platforms —
    whatever it takes to help us find each other and increase our
    visibility to each other and hopefully also within our markup
    communities.

    Come join us:
