WEEKLY 9: ONLINE "COMMUNITIES"

I recently was invited to join this Facebook group called Ladies Storm Hackathons, which is a public group/community that focuses on closing the gender gap in hackathons and in the software engineering industry in general. Many users go onto this group to promote current events, job opportunities/internships for women, as well as share articles detailing on experiences women have in the male-dominated tech world.

Some users even ask for advice and feedback from others.

I find this to be a good example of a well-organized online community that is inclusive, aware, and informative. There is a lack of hostiility and divisiveness that often appears on FB groups.
