    Show notesWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOFDCmXpxvw Women && Code is one of the most successful communities started in Vienna with the purpose of bringing women* into programming in Austria. The vision of the community is to achieve 50-50 gender equality in tech in Austria.Listen to co-founder Eva Lettner, herself a former marketing expert turned tech lead, present the community: how does it work, who is it for, what to expect as a participant, how can it help you in your career, how many women they have helped, how companies can get involved. #cisco Resources and links:Women && Code website: https://womenandcode.org/Follow Women && Code on Twitter: https://twitter.com/womenandcodeConnect with Eva on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eva_trostlosOther communities:https://thenewitgirls.com/https://www.womenwhocode.com/http://blackgirlscode.org/Connect with Eva Lettner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eva_trostlos DISCLAIMER from Ramón:In this episode, I bring up the Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color in Tech (BIPoCiT) Space implemented at JSConf EU in 2019 while discussing the topic of women-only spaces.I initially wanted to talk about how whiteness toxically uses reverse racism as a shield when discussing BIPoC spaces, but didn’t want to go off-topic in this episode, concluding it by saying I didn’t want to open a can of worms. I apologize for not spending more time on it, and would like to cover this topic in a future episode.Please note that this by no means diminishes the importance of the topic, as empowering those who are underrepresented and/or marginalized is our goal. In the meantime, we recommend reading JSConf EU’s page on the topic:https://2019.jsconf.eu/bipocit-space/ TranscriptTIMEA:Hey Ramón! RAMÓN:Hey Timea! TIMEA:Let’s talk, gender equality. RAMÓN:I love the idea. Gimme a second. I just got to grab my coffee. I hope you’ve got yours too. TIMEA:Yeah, right here. RAMÓN:Welcome welcome, everybody. If you were listening before we’ve got a very special guest on the show. Once again here we’ve got Eva Lettner who is amongst other things public speaker Google developer expert and coding instructor at the Women && Code organization. TIMEA:Hi, Eva. Hi, everybody. RAMÓN:Hey, hey, so if you’ve been listening to the show before you probably knew that we had a van to talk about her journey as a polymath and and a public speaker. And what we wanted to do today was cover a little bit about Women && Code as an organization itself. So, yes, this is Women && Code. We covered it shortly before. But could you tell us a little bit about Women && Code once again. For those just joining in. EVA:Sure Women && Code is a nonprofit organization that I found it together with Barbara Ondrisek, I think it was 2018 but I’m not sure because time has no meaning, now. And the idea came to me on a flight where I was really bored and couldn’t sleep. And I came home and Barbara and I had coffee. I told her the idea. And she said okay we’re going to do it I was on my way home. She texted me. We have a domain. We have email addresses and we’re going to do this in two weeks. So that was basically it. How this idea started is. I was a trainer for another nonprofit organization in Vienna. That was called Girls and Code and they were teaching HTML CSS they were teaching JavaScript in WordPress and all kinds of stuff for women and people wanting or women wanting to get into the industry. That was really inspirational for me. Unfortunately, they stopped doing courses because it was just too much for them. Just didn’t have enough time anymore in the resources and so. And I was really sad, because I enjoy teaching. And so having this idea in my head team at the right moment because I had taken a break from training. And I just wanted to get into it and that was the perfect situation to start something new again. And what we wanted to do is not teach, ourselves, because teaching is exhausting, we wa

TIMEA: Oh yeah! I feel super, like, wow, okay, we were the first conference, cool! EVA: Yeah so it was either right after I started working in tech or just before. And it was just, it felt so great there were so many cool people there and I met people that I’m still friends with now, like Pilar, who is Ramón’s sister, I met her there and it was just a very nice atmosphere and I felt very empowered from all the speeches and it’s just it gave me the feeling that a woman can actually do things in tech and can be influential in a way and also this was when I saw myself first on stage, I saw those women speak and I was like “Oh I’m gonna do that too”. TIMEA: Wow. EVA: And I was terrified of publi

TIMEA: Let’s talk gender equality. RAMÓN: I love the idea. Gimme a second I just gotta grab my coffee, I hope you’ve got yours, too! TIMEA: Yep, right here. RAMÓN: I think is an excellent moment to segue into what women techmakers vienna is because we’ve got a lot to say about that we are both part of the women techmakers vienna organization and you’ve been around for much longer than I have, Timea! Why why don’t you start by telling us what what women techmakers vienna is? TIMEA: Sure. Actually, I think January we will be have we’ll have our eighth year anniversary since we founded the community in Vienna and it’s it started from the Google Developer Group which is a community of people interested in Google products and frameworks and technology alike and this big conference that happened yearly at Google in San Francisco. Well, the women that participated there were like “but it’s kind of lonely around here where where are all the women” that come to these big tech conferences and I think that’s the where the need actually started to push into “let’s do something about it”. So yeah, Women Techmakers was started at this one of these big Google conferences in San Francisco eight or nine years ago and through the Google Developer Communities they were like “hey, would you like to start a local chapter? We provide you with the name with the visual identity”. We have our logo, colors, brands, all that just you know with the simple goal of bringing more women into STEM- RAMÓN: Sorry, STEM being? TIMEA: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. RAMÓN: Right yes of course. TIMEA: Yeah so that was the beginning. RAMÓN: Awesome, and you been doing this, you said eight years in january. TIMEA: Yeah, I can’t believe it, myself. [Laughter] RAMÓN: Yeah that’s so that’s eight years that you’ve been running a a yearly conference TIMEA: Yes, right, at the beginning we had a 50 participant meet up. To be honest we didn’t call it conference quite the beginning and then it started to grow from 50 to 60 to 70 to 200. RAMÓN: Yeah the ones I’ve been to have had 200 at least! TIMEA: And you were at the beginning were a participant but not at women time makers but the devfest, right? RAMÓN: Yeah it’s… Your memory is better than mine. So I’ve been helping out with Women Techmakers now, this 2020 would have been my third year of participating of being in an organization member. Then in 2017 I gave a talk at the Women Techmakers conference about teaching children to code and then before that I was a participant, er, an attendee,

    0. The what, who and why of Gender Equality over Coffee

    Show notesWatch us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2CUgQ37Vkc Here we are! Timea and Ramón go over their feelings of embarking on a newpodcast journey, what they hope to learn and where this experience will takethem. Are you active in pushing for a more inclusive, intersectional space? Do youknow of someone who would be great for us to talk to? Get in touch with us: wtmvie@gmail.com https://twitter.com/GenderCoffeeTranscript TIMEA: Hey Ramón! RAMÓN: Hey Timea! TIMEA: Let’s talk gender equality. RAMÓN: I love the idea. Gimme a second I just gotta grab my coffee, I hope you’ve got yours, too! TIMEA: Yep, right here. RAMÓN: Ok! Here we are. TIMEA: Let’s do this! RAMÓN: It’s a bit weird to be recording ourselves. How are you feeling today? TIMEA: Right now since you pressed record my emotions just went woosh! For some reason. RAMÓN: This is… I’d say this is my first time recording without a script. So it’s pretty strange. Normally when I’m recording stuff I’ve got a script in my head so this having a more natural flow is pretty weird. TIMEA: And just like that you managed to woosh it again. RAMÓN: I’m sorry, Timea! TIMEA: This is about being out of the comfort zone, this is how it feels right now but we want to do this, right. So let’s just get on it. RAMÓN: So here we are, we’re making a podcast! This is an idea that’s been in the works for the better part of a month from my end. Has it been longer for you because this is your brainchild. TIMEA: I’ve been flirting with the idea since about spring. Yeah. Since I started to get more into podcasting myself. Yeah I was thinking about different directions for the community. Yeah but never got the guts to get going. And now I do. RAMÓN: Yeah, here we are, we’re doing it! TIMEA: Yes. And we decided to go for the topic of gender equality right. RAMÓN: Yeah. Which I’m you know I think it’s really important you might. So just for for context. Timea and I are doing this podcast together they both of us. My pronouns are he/him so… gender equality, I come from a position of privilege here, so speaking on authority it is not something I’m going to be doing here but just an authority based on my experience. TIMEA: Absolutely. And I’m she/her pronouns and, yeah, gender equality is a huge topic to tackle. I just want to also say that this is our little part to the topic and being out of the comfort zone here I’m hoping that the podcast will grow and we will grow with the podcast and we will also broaden our perspective and mindset and yeah we’re gonna be having people to invite over and conversations and hopefully you know something cool would come out of it at the end. RAMÓN: Yes absolutely. My aim is to is to learn and will continue learning as I go. I’ve got a lot to learn. I’ve done some learning over the years which I hope to share here. But of course that learning journey is never done. And I think by bringing up people with other perspectives than mine or yours we can we can do that. TIMEA: And I think that’s a good point to mention that I’m super excited to the podcast and co-host with you Ramón. I think gender equality wouldn’t be talking about gender equality if you wouldn’t have at least two different genders represented here. So that’s… I like that a lot. RAMÓN: That’s that’s great. I’m super honoured that you came up to me and said like you know when I said like I’d love to help. I was thinking you know I could do some some tech stuff but when you said come come record with me I’m like, all right let’s do it. I like talking so I’m happy. So I’m wondering if… so you’ve had this idea for for a while what what kind of made it what made now the moment not now, now like this moment but like what what made this the time, you think to to start talking to people. TIMEA: Yeah. Well, if you put it like that it’s, kind of like you know the whole pandemic situa
