  13. “RGSoC for me was an opportunity to help
    two smart people get their feet wet in Open
    Source (which can be incredibly in=mida=ng).
    The contribu=ons to the project were
    valuable and as a bonus, I got some insights
    into how I can improve the experience for
    new contributors in the future.”

  14. “Rails Girls Summer of Code changes the
    tech community more than one can assume
    at first glance. Women learning new things
    and geIng their foot in the door are only the
    =p of the iceberg.
    This program also alters mindsets of people
    around, seIng new standards of how the
    tech community should look.
    Year by year, we spread the idea of
    diversifying tech to make today's diversity
    challenges build up tomorrow's new reality,
    where diversity is just a normal and usual
    state of things. This is what we aim for.”
    Maria Ronacher,

    Organizer (Austria)
    RGSoC Organizers

  15. “I got involved, because I believe
    that the program empowers
    women in a field that is both
    exci=ng and scary, and because 

    I would have benefited from this
    kind of support myself 

    10 years ago.”
