"The Ally Skills Workshop is a training session designed to help allies
(i.e. mainly men) learn how to support women in open source. Sessions of
the workshop have been offered at several conferences in the past few
years, including LinuxCon North America 2014 and WikiConference USA
2014. If you are not fortunate enough to be able to attend a conference
that is offering the Ally Skills Workshop, the Ada Initiative provides
training sessions for a fee."

Useful material for anyone in the tech industry whose workplace has
disproportionately many male employees (significantly more than 50%).
And unfortunately that's probably most workplaces.

Also, a lot of this is about just plain good practices.

Share and enjoy,
