Last call to get your name in lights

Hey there, Baltimore. Shoutout to everyone at the Baltimore Womxn in Tech meetup last night. It was fun to get together in person, and do a few escooter laps around the Union Craft Brewing parking lot.

 

Before we get to the news, a couple reminders. It's your last chance to submit for the following:

  • RealLIST Engineers: Nominees close today for our annual list of  influential technologists and software developers. Tag your favorite engineer here.
  • How would you help Baltimore? The city is getting $641M from the US government. How would you spend it to help us all? Reply to baltimore@technical.ly with the answer.
