Leslie will also host a Drop-in Open Resume Clinic from 4:00pm - 5:00pm if you are unable to attend the sign-up workshop with no registration required. There is no cost to attend these events.

While Linux jobs may be plentiful, candidates still need to ensure their resumes are primed to meet the expectations of corporate recruiters and hiring managers. As part of their efforts to encourage more diverse participation in the Linux and cloud computing communities, The Linux Foundation has teamed up with Leslie Hawthorn to offer a resume writing workshop for women.
<br>
During this workshop, Leslie will offer her insights from her time in the trenches as a corporate recruiter for Google's Linux Kernel engineering team. The workshop is divided into two segments. The first focuses on common pitfalls when preparing your resume that women may find themselves encountering more often than men. She'll go over three sample resumes from highly accomplished women she knows and do before and after feedback session with the workshop participants. For the second part, we'll break into small groups and augment each others resume and do a before and after look.
<br>
Bring your resume and your willingness to let your awesomeness shine through. You can be humble tomorrow, when you're not working on your resume! You do not need to sign up for this workshop to attend. Final timing and location will be announced soon.

The Ally Skills Workshop teaches men simple, everyday ways to support women in their workplaces and communities. Participants learn techniques that work at the office, at conferences, and online. The skills we teach are relevant everywhere, including skills particularly relevant to open technology and culture communities. At the end of the workshop, participants will feel more confident in speaking up to support women, be more aware of the challenges facing women in their workplaces and communities, and have closer relationships with the other participants.
Participants of all genders are welcome! The workshop works best with about 20-30% women, so we encourage everyone who is interested to apply. For more information on the Ally Skills Workshop, click here: http://adainitiative.org/what-we-do/workshops-and-training/

HP Helion OpenStack Technical Overview:
There was an important article in Forbes late last year asking the question “why has open source not taken over Storage”. The article went on to say that Open Source was more computer science than engineering that was needed to support mission critical storage. Nithya will take a deeper look at the transformation that is happening in storage and examine the question of the role of open source in storage. She will also look at the drivers driving growth and adoption of open source in storage as well as the state of open source supply. Cover OpenStack, Object Storage, and Cloud Storage where Open Source is here to stay and address how the collaboration between commercial companies and open source and the role that consortium has played to create a datacenter ready open source.

The rise of Linux over the last two decades has been nothing short of a revolution. A small minority took an established technology and built a world-changing platform that has touched almost every industry on earth. Along the way, this new accessibility incubated powerful tools that created their own revolutions in turn. Thanks to Linux, the smartphone and set-top box have become mainstream faster than anyone thought possible, and devices like the RaspberryPi have inspired a new generation of creators.
If you’re sticking around on Friday evening, feel free to join other attendees for a closing gathering at Lizzie McNeill’s overlooking the River from 5:00pm-7:00pm. Light appetizers will be served and the pub will be offering badged attendees 10% off beverages.
