   %h2 What's a RailsBridge Workshop?
-  %p Our most well-known efforts are free weekend workshops where women learn Ruby on Rails from volunteers. The students at our workshops range from folks who are completely new to programming to QA engineers and professional developers who want to learn Rails. During the Installfest (usually on a Friday evening), we get students' laptops setup with the requisite technologies. The next day, we break into small group based on experience level and build a web app! (When we aren't teaching Ruby and Rails, we teach HTML & CSS.)

+    Back in the heady days of June 2009, the #{ link_to "San Francisco Ruby community", "https://www.meetup.com/sfruby/", class: 'inline-link' }
     stood at about 97% men, and 3% women. RailsBridge was started as an effort to even that out a bit.

     figured that there were more women in (at that time) popular languages like PHP and Java,
     and if they could show them the wonder of developing in Ruby, perhaps they could change the SF Ruby community's makeup.
-  %p And so they held a workshop. They sent a few emails out, including one to a women in technology mailing list, and within 24 hours, the workshop was full. It turned out every speculation of "Well, maybe there aren't more women in programming because they just aren't interested" was 100% rubbish (as we all knew), and there has been an insatiable appetite for education and community every since that first workshop.

   %p The Open Workshop project (at it was then known) was just one part of RailsBridge. RailsBridge also put on Rails Bug Mashes (or bug smashes, depending on who you ask), taught Ruby to kids, set up online mentoring, and sponsored other projects. Over time, the name RailsBridge has become synonymous with the workshops.
