Red Hat Coffee Hour

The Red Hat® Coffee Hour series is a bi-weekly videocast featuring luminaries from technology, society and the world of STEM. Topics for discussion will include governmental and societal impacts of technology, open source in Sci/Tech/Med., as well as the role of technology and work/life balance.

As a young woman working in Silicon Valley, Tracy Chou quickly discovered that there is a lack of diversity in the modern tech workplace. In 2013, she published the thought provoking Medium post “Where are the numbers”, urging companies to start by “having honest dialogues about how we’re actually doing, as an industry, to encourage women in computing”, this lead to her github repo that is used to track the diversity numbers that companies like Google, Microsoft and others have been disclosing. Adam Clater, Chief Architect at Red Hat and Tracy will discuss the tech gender gap, her company “Block Party”, and her work at the United States Digital Services.
