The Eclectic Tech Carnival is a gathering of women interested in open source technology. It is usually held once a year, in a place where there is an interested group of women willing to host it, and is usually about a week long - but every /ETC is different! The most recent /ETC took place in March 2012 in Ljubljana - click here for more information A carnival typically includes hands-on workshops on installing and using open source and free software, building web sites, understanding network security, and exploring alternatives to commercial/mainstream social networking sites and other tools. The programme usually also features cultural discussions and presentations, art exhibitions, performances and community events. Each carnival is organised by the local group, with the support of the international network via mailing lists, IRC and IRL meetings.
