SF NEW TECH

AUGUST MEETUP: WOMEN IN TECH!

Before we dive in, here's a quick update from ThoughtWorks, one of our sponsors:

ThoughtWorks wishes to thank the group from the July event for all the nominations for the free Code Jam!   The first Code Jam guest has been chosen and invited for an evening of free coding and fun. You can look forward to hearing how everything went and getting a demo of the application soon.  Here's a tip: You may be able to participate in the demo -- just bring your iPhone. . .

Without further ado, here's what's in store for the August SF New Tech Meetup, including an amazing roster of some pretty amazing women, including:
