There is a new initiative led by pioneer vlogger Ryanne Hodson to get more women speaking at Tech conferences. Though there are several women who are equally as successful as men in the industry, female participants are often overlooked.

In response to the demand for female speakers, Hodson has started a wiki to list names from different backgrounds, including: Media Makers; Programmers and Entrepreneurs. This list should act as a resource for those planning to hold conferences in the future.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I have a life’s to-do list… That said, though, I never for the life of me thought that I would ever have the opportunity to see Chingon in concert.

For those of you who don’t think they know Chingon… you do. Chingon is made up of band members from Del Castillo and kick ass film maker Robert Rodriguez. If you’re smart, you’ll go and buy their album right now…
