> I am researching a new generation of women between the ages of about 20
> and 32, often dubbed 'hacktivists' or 'culturejammers', that are part of
> hacking and open source communities. In addition to championing typical
> technical coder knowledge, they are also known to work as
> anti-capitalist artists, community builders and Creative Commons
> evangelists. They represent an emerging movement which has been
> formative in the organization of hackathons and tech salons that mix
> traditionally subversive hacktivism with open source programming,
> thereby changing the meaning of politicized terms like 'hacker' and
'coder'.

>> From April to August 2011, as part of my MSc thesis in Digital
> Anthropology / Internet Theory from University College London (UCL), I
> am looking for female representatives from London and Berlin to help me
> undertake an immersive ethnography into these new hacker subcultures. I
> am particularly interested in whether they feel they have affected -- or
> have been affected by -- these environments, in comparison to an
> infamous 2006 study by Bernhard Krieger and James Leach, which found
> that only 1.5% of F/LOSS ("free/libre/open source") community members
> were female.
>
> I will be visiting Berlin from the 14th to the 24th of April and would
> love to talk with any female coders / hackers in the area. If interested
> please contact Kat Braybrooke<mailto:Braybrooke.k at gmail.com> and feel
> free to forward to others.
