IBM announces women in tech initatives and a whole lot of open sourcing
Credit:
IBM has announced a new tranche of open source products designed to fuel cloud developer innovation.
The first is developerWorks Open which, apart from playing havoc with our spellchecker, is a collaborative platform designed to give developers access to high-potential open source projects and resources.
The idea is to help 'cut the crap' for devs looking for technologies in which to invest their time and resources in order to solve business challenges. The company has also announced support for a range of initiatives to encourage women in the tech sector, including computer camps through the Girls Who Code initiative, and the ReBoot Accelerator designed to get women up to speed if they are returning to the sector after a time away.
