About GITchina
Technology comes with a stereotype that can intimidate people into thinking it is just an industry for engineers, developers and Steve Jobs. But thanks to the birth of Web 2.0 and open source software, it no longer has to be a closed game. GITchina's sole mission is to spread this message by providing a platform on which women in technology can connect, empower and learn from one another. With the increasing importance of technology and its convergence with other professions, the necessity to educate, celebrate and support women in this field has become impossible to ignore.
