More Than Binary: Inclusive Gender Collection and You
This year, I was fortunate enough to be accepted to speak at a few tech conferences about a side project I’ve been working on over the past year. My project Gender Amender (https://github.com/anne-decusatis/genderamender) exists to collect gender information in a way that’s meaningful for both machine learning algorithms and people of all genders.
I just returned from PyCon (https://us.pycon.org/2016/) less than two weeks ago, which was a wonderful conference. I found the emphasis on community there to be inspiring and refreshing.
I’ll also be speaking at Open Source Bridge next week (http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/1779) - I’m really looking forward to it, and I’d love to see you there!
If you can’t make it to see me speak in person and want to look at my talk resources online, or if you want to see all the sources I used, then you can find all that information in one place at my personal blog: http://anne.loves.technology/blog/talks/2016/05/16/more-than-binary.html
I’d like to thank all of my coworkers at Meetup for helping make this possible and for listening to me practice this talk over and over again for weeks and weeks.
