Passion Projects is a monthly talk series launched by GitHub to celebrate and highlight the work of passionate women in technology, inspired by the goal of fostering a more female-friendly engineering culture. The series features prominent women from various fields such as engineering, design, and entrepreneurship, sharing their passion projects with the community to inspire other women interested in technology. The inaugural event, scheduled for March 14, 2013, at GitHub HQ in San Francisco, features Rachel Myers, an open-source enthusiast and volunteer with Railsbridge, as the keynote speaker. The initiative aims to create a supportive environment by sharing stories of successful women in the tech industry, encouraging others through relatable experiences. GitHub invites the community to participate by sharing stories of inspirational women or seeking sponsorships for related events.
