Django Girls: A success story (PyTennessee 2015)

How do you bring more women into the Python and Django community? In this talk I will present Django Girls, a non-profit organization that brought several hundred of new women into the community, and turns workshop attendees into new female leaders and mentors. I will talk about our mission and story, our workshops and materials, future goals and projects, and how you can do the same.
