Ilen Zazueta-Hall, our new Director of Leadership Development, will be speaking at OSCON next week (7/28). Ilen has worked with us since workshop #2 to make workshops happen and has figured out how to turn a loose collection of engineers into a force for social change. Her talk is called Start a Workshop, Change the World. She’ll be sharing the key recipes that have made the RailsBridge workshops so successful. She’ll share stories of how so many groups of individuals have made workshops happen — with no formal training and an eclectic approach, there are important patterns that make it work.
