Duchess is a global network of women who work with or are interested in Java technology. Our primary focus is to support and get a voice to women in the Java industry. Duchess provides a platform for women to connect and organize themselves online and offline for real life networking. Our short term goals include arranging technical sessions, study groups, social outings, and discounts for external events and courses. Our long term goals include establishing local branches all over the world and outreach programs in schools and universities. We believe that women belong in and can contribute a lot to the computer industry. Please help us spread the word!
We welcome all women who are interested in Java technology, including developers, architects, testers, business analysts and others. In this sense, Java technology also includes new languages that run a JVM such as Groovy, JRuby, or Scala.
Please join us and help make Duchess into something great.
