Hi,

I'm organising a conference in March this year on the topic of Large
Installation Systems Administration (LISA). We've been lucky enough to be
given two bursaries by Google for up to £500 each which cover the delegate
fees, accommodation and travel for female students/developers from the UK
to encourage wider participation in a conference which is traditionally
dominated by men (through no intention of ours, it just always works out
that way unfortunately). As well as being able to attend the conference,
the successful applicants will be able to meet Google representatives, and
I was wondering if LinuxChix would therefore be willing to promote this
event to women within your network? I've tried getting in touch with the
London chapter but the mailing list link times out.

You can find full details of the bursaries and the conference here:

Thanks,

Paul
