Adam Kalsey’s Newly Digital is a great idea, but I’m more than a little put off by the fact that the initial dozen participants (including Kalsey) are all men (never mind that they’re all western men, too; one thing at a time).
I’m a member of a local group comprising several thousand (mostly) Bay Area women who work in all aspects of the web and tech industries. Almost all of them are interesting.
