The Eclectic Tech Carnival is a gathering of women interested in open source technology. It's been held at least once a year since 2002, each time in a place where there is an interested group of women willing to host it. Its roots are in the Genderchangers hardware and FLOSS courses.
Istanbul, Turkey: 7-13 September 2009
Women from all over the world organise the /etc through mailing lists, IRC and IRL meetings - and women come from all over the world to participate in the /etc.
The week-long carnival includes workshops on installing open source and free software, looking at Linux, building websites, chat conferencing. In addition there are art exhibitions and cultural discussions & presentations.
