Yes, we can definitely use further funds for setting up the technical side of the organization (domain name, hosting, etc.).
sabdalla··on Creating a hacking environment for girls in Chicago
Thank you for expressing interest in our endeavor.

I agree that by having the word "girls" in the organization's might make the organization seem isolationist. The idea is to target a specific demographic that is underrepresented in technology. If anyone interested in joining the group feels uncertain about whether they belong, they should know that they definitely do. This organization is community, and communities are built on love.

Once again, thank you for you interest in our organization.
