In a demonstration of the power of women and geeks, the Rome chapter of the Girls Geek Dinner group met at the Roma Est Apple store on May 16th for an evening of instruction and camaraderie. Creatives Simone and Riccardo gave the group of 14 women an out-line of social networking and productivity applications, and fielded questions from the geeks. The one-hour session was part of the Apple stores’ on-going education and outreach programs. The GGD group was first formed in London to, “create an informal platform where technical girls and women of all ages can network and learn from others alike in our local community.” There are now 40 chapters in 18 countries. The first Italian chapter was formed in Milan in 2007, and the Rome chapter was created in 2008. View photos of the Apple store visit, and read a story about the visit on the group’s Web site.
