Workshop 4: Ally Skills Workshop: Learn Everyday Ways to Support Women in Computing

LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

The Ally Skills Workshop is for you! This Ada Initiative workshop teaches simple, everyday ways to support women in your workplace and community. Participants learn techniques that work at the office, at conferences, and online.
