Female members of LÖVE community?

Hello everyone! :D I'm new here!
(sorry if this is not the right place to post this :x)

I'd like to ask where are the female members of the LÖVE community and if we can connect!
I currently develop other stuff in Lua and just started with LÖVE last week, looks awesome!

So, there's this user group I co-founded to organize meet ups and attract more women to the Lua community
http://lualadies.org/
There is also a facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lua-Ladi ... 1144952722

I'm planning to organize our first meeting in january or february and the theme will be "Let's make a game with LÖVE". (exact title yet to be decided)
The meeting organized by me will be in Brest, France, the other co-founder is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and might organize some meetings in the future as well.

We have a particular need for someone that has already some experience with LÖVE to show some guidance to newcomers. I'll give preference to women, although I accept mentors of both genders. So, if you are near me and you would like to help, please contact me!

Pleasure meeting you all! :awesome:

You're doing awesome work! I'm neither a woman nor close to either location, but if Lua Ladies ever organises something in the Netherlands, I'd love to help out in whatever way I can.

What does sex have to do with programming?

You don't really follow what's going on in the world are you?

@Etiene
Great project, I wish you best of luck!
I'll tweet your website as well, maybe that way you can reach more people.

I think he meant sex as in genre, male or female.
And I would usually ask the same question, but this subject tends to always end in an absolute shitstorm and this forum seems too civil and lovely for that. So I won't :)

Best of luck with your effort Etiene and welcome to the forum. My advice would be to use the search function freely, I'm new too and I have a hard time finding questions that haven't been asked yet :P

I actually never really thought about the gender of the people here. It doesn't matter who makes the code if you ask me.

But you'd need to be living under a rock right now if you're not aware of the whole gender war going on on the internet currently. It's a really dangerous rocky road to travel on if you choose to even open your mouth or choose a side. Basically what nfey said.

Either way, welcome!

Very cool idea, OP. If you present, please record it!

LÖVE for the Ladies!

Don't let fear prevent you from asking questions, otherwise that fear will soon become justified.
