[Foss-outreach-la] FOSS-outreach-LA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 1

Wed Apr 23 15:47:07 UTC 2014

A) who they are and, if they'd like, what they do/what their background is

Murriel Perez, systems & network admin, been working in IT for ### years,
linux and windows though to be honest mostly windows these days so still
have a lot of open source learning to do . Also one of the Managing
Directors for Girls in Tech LA (www.girlsintechla.org). This was my first
year attending to SCaLE and I had a blast.

B) what their dreams are for an open source education event (where?  what size?
 aimed at who?)

location - anywhere in LA, DTLA, Santa Monica, South Bay, any group size,
evening or full-day workshop, aimed at anyone in the community but
particularly focused on getting more girls/women interested in Open Source
& Tech

C) in what capacity they'd like to be involved (organizer, volunteer mentor,
attendee, etc)

Happy to help in any way possible, any or all of the above

Looking forward to working with all of you also!

Murriel Grace Perez
