{iGive=y}; @ Mix '08 and FSDevCon!!
Hi everyone!
One of the things that I am particularly passionate about is getting young women more interested in the technology industry. If you look back to a post I did a long time ago, you will see that women in tech never have to wait in line for the restrooms at technical conferences and such ;0
In honor of National Women’s History Month Microsoft is supporting the YWCA with the iGive program. YWCA organization’s mission is to eliminate racism and empower women. The YWCA helps build strong women leaders and serves as an advocate for women's rights and civil rights in Congress.
So if you are at MIX '08 in Las Vegas on March 7th or are going to the Financial Services Developers Conference in New York City on March 12th & 13th, check this out! You can give these wonderful, limited edition T-shirts to your daughters or significant others. Men are welcome to wear the ladies shirts, just as we always do with men’s shirts :).
Look for the team roaming around, help a GREAT cause, and get a COOL T-shirt!
Read on for the details...
Help Microsoft support the YWCA in honor of National Women’s History month in March by exchanging a donation for a limited edition iGive shirt. The shirts will be distributed by members of Microsoft’s Developer Platform & Evangelism team at Mix 08 on March 7 & 8th in Las Vegas, and March 12 & 13th in New York City.
If you are at MIX, on March 7th, come collect a shirt by sending off the Code Trip team on their adventures. The bus will be leaving from the Sands Expo loading area which is part of the Venetian conference centers. Simply go to the first floor of the convention room areas (instead of heading up the escalator to MIX, head down) and follow the signs to the Sands Expo area.
If you want to participate, follow these 5 easy steps:
Step1. Donate to the YWCA.
Step2. Print out your receipt (if you don't have access to a printer, find one of the Developer & Platform Evangelism Team members for alternatives)
Step3. Attend MIX08 or the FSDevCon. Mix 08 on March 7 & 8th in Las Vegas or FSDevCon March 12 & 13th in New York City.
Step4. Find a member of Microsoft’s Developer Platform & Evangelism group at either event.
Step 5. Make the trade. Swap your receipt for a limited edition Swarovski crystal studded iGive serialized shirt. One serial shirt per person (2 in series : Vegas & NYC).
