History & Where We Are Now

How we got started

In June 2009, the San Francisco Ruby community stood at about 97% men, and 3% women. At the time 20% of software developers were women, so we estimated that there were more women developers than there were Ruby developers. Sarah Mei and Sarah Allen started with a simple hypothesis: if we taught women Ruby, there would be more women Ruby developers. Our approach was to offer a free workshop teaching Ruby on Rails. Inspired by Women 2.0, men could participate as student as a guest of a woman. In order to meet the incredible demand for the workshops, anyone could be a teacher, TA or other volunteer support person. At our first workshop with had 8 teachers -- 4 women, 4 men and a dad volunteered to supervise the kids play area.

We decided to teach monthly workshops for 1 year. Teaching 10-20 women per month, if 10% stayed in the community, we would triple the number of women in the community and we estimated that we would reach 20% women at in-person gatherings (meetups and local conferences) in a year.

The first workshop was intended have a maximum of 40 students, but after two tweets and one mailing list post, we had a waiting list in less than 24 hours. Orange Labs offered their large office space with 8 conference rooms. By enlisting men as well as women to teach and TA, we were able to expand the capacity to 80, and 62 students participating in an overwhelmingly successful first event.

With such huge demand and plenty of offers of large office space to hold events, we held large 50 student events every other month. In less than 6 months, we had met our goal of 20% women at SF Ruby Meetup events. Additionally, we noticed other significant impact on our local community: more meetup events, more events targeted at less experienced engineers and more experienced women Ruby developers coming to events. We were also building a core team of dedicated volunteer leaders and a perpetually renewing group of volunteer teachers and TAs. During that first year, we also proved that this would scale across geographies with workshops in Cambridge, MA and Oahu, HI. We developed open source curriculum and installation instructions that improved with every workshop.

Developing an Organization to Support a Movement

We documented the process of organizing a workshop, developed teacher training to encourage more students to become teachers, and evolved the curriculum using open source processes and frequent iterations. In May 2010, a workshop was organized by new leaders for the first time - not just one, but one in San Francisco and one in New York City. In the subsequent years, the number of workshops has doubled every year, with workshops in 42 cities in 2013, with thriving communities across the globe.

We had decided early on that we would “let nothing get in the way of a workshop happening” when there are students who want to learn, teachers willing to teach, and someone willing to organize an event. Local companies offered us funding, space, food, etc. Often all that was needed was someone to connect the people with the resources to the people who wanted to make a workshop happen. Austin Putman volunteered to be treasurer, with much of his job simply paying $60 for a security guard or $250 for pizza, which worked well for a year or two, but having a single volunteer treasurer is not a sustainable model for a fast-growing organization.

We also had volunteers interested in seeking grants which would require 501c3 status, and individuals who would donate more financially if it could be tax deductible. We decided to seek fiscal sponsorship as a path to non-profit status. In 2013, we chose School Factory as our fiscal sponsor, since they offered advice and mentorship on growing an organization, as well as the potential partnership with any of their 80+ maker spaces for holding workshops. RailsBridge had been established as an umbrella group for many like-minded initiatives, including: TeachingKids, RailsMentors, Rails BugMash, and TestFirst.org. However, RailsBridge was most known for its workshops, so we decided to rename the parent organization. RailsBridge would focus on holding workshops that teach Ruby and Rails. We were proud of the many groups who were inspired by our work and spun out their own separate organizations: RailsGirls, PyStar, PyLadies, Scala Workshop, Women Who Code, Learn the Front End, Confident Coding JS, PHPBridge; however, we wanted people who were teaching different tech to different groups to feel like they could join us, so we wanted a name that didn't include the name of a specific technology. The new organization was named Bridge Foundry -- the place where all the bridges can be made, where each bridge is unique.

Many Bridges

In 2014, ClojureBridge and MobileBridge were formed, each focused on separate technologies, following the same RailsBridge workshop model, with open source curriculum and all volunteer process. In its first year, ClojureBridge held eight workshops, including three in Australia. MobileBridge started with an iOS workshop, held in San Francisco, followed by one in Hawaii, and more in San Francisco. There are plans for Android too. In Summer 2015, GoBridge started with several workshops, an online forum, and an innovative partner program.

How Bridge Foundry Works

The tools that we use are mostly words (wiki, presentations, curriculum, code-of-conduct) and events (teacher trainings, install fest, teaching workshops, speakers); however, we also are developing software for registration and curriculum wrangling. Our registration tool, BridgeTroll, allows new organizers to have insight into the prior experience of students, teachers, and TAs. We’re seeing its power to connect the community across technologies, since today all software developers need to know multiple languages and frameworks.

Goal: link "What we do" as subsection of "About" in nav

We need to request an integration using the form below, come up with email text, and integrate it into our website "bridgefoundry.org/donate"

• Submit integration request form:
  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgvgqrVn1WjquS1XDYGRWdVA2yVXCkbr7O8zOFczYhA1rUSw/viewform?c=0&w=1
• Make a page on bridgefoundry.org site that isn't linked from anywhere
• Sarah will make a donation to test it
• provided that works, send a test tweet and see how it goes
• if all goes well, add to Bridge Foundry navigation and/or homepage

It would be great to have a web page on the Bridge Foundry site that explains how to make a blog post. Something like:

1. add a file to _posts with date-name formatted file name
2. add yml "front matter" (4 lines of text at the top)
3. make a pull request

First version of the doc could be either command line OR via Github user interface, eventually it would be great to have both.

I think it would make sense to link to the doc from the blog index but am open to any suggestion for where this page should go.

Goal:

• create a page with the following content below.
• Make a top link area that connects to the sectioned content

Viral Workshop Model

The effect on the local SF Ruby Meetup was just one example of the impact of the RailsBridge workshops. Every year, multiple new organizations have started, explicitly borrowing the format, processes, and inspiration, which we call the “viral workshop model.”

1. After creating an open source curriculum and putting on a first event, the rest of the work is match-making existing volunteers and resources.
2. Tapping into the people and the companies in the community, an ongoing sustainable teaching community can be created.
3. Students become TAs become Teachers. The best teachers are those who have learned most recently, and have a passion for giving back to a community that fostered their own development.
4. Companies benefit when we expand the talent pool, and their staff who volunteer at workshops become more expert through teaching and improving their leadership and communication skills.

Patterns for levelling up

We have many experienced developers who hone their skills through teaching, learning a new language or framework, or contributing to one of our open source projects. For people who are new to coding and want to become software developers, we have few resources after the intro workshops. We believe that we can extend our current model to support someone throughout their journey from novice to expert developer. We already have many success stories of women who came to RailsBridge to learn to code and are now working in the field; however, we still hear of people who aren’t sure what to do after their first or second workshop.

The transition from student to teaching assistant to teacher is one effective path, but it is not sufficient. We have experimented with pair programming evenings, mob programming, study groups, co-working days at Internet Cafés and post-workshop hack nights. These are all good and can be effective, but we aspire to create a path (which may be non-linear) that people could follow to become a practicing software developer.

Outreach

We believe that if more people know what we were doing, that can create as much positive change as teaching coding and leadership. There are many great untold stories of learning, teaching and transformational change -- with new stories created every month. We would like to do more outreach to participants to invite and support them in telling their stories.

We embrace diversity in style -- with a delightful variety of logos and imagery across our many constituent groups. We believe we can create some unifying messaging and branding that could connect our ecosystem of communities. We would like to provide simple common element (widget or footer), which all the groups could embed on their sites. There is also plenty of room to improve the web and social media presence of Bridge Foundry, which could set patterns for the Bridges.

If you want to help in any way, let us know (link to [email protected]).

It is standard practice to have your EIN on your website. Add this to some where in the about section for tax purposes. Usually the donation page is a good place.

The huge image should actually a smaller image when the width of the screen is smaller (e.g. responsive using a mediaquery -- I think bootstrap which I'm using for the site has examples of this in their docs).

I was thinking of using cloudinary for scaling the image -- we used the service at Blazing Cloud and it got rave reviews from developers and is free for small usage: https://cloudinary.com/users/register/free

Guest Post: Kelley Robinson, ScalaBridge founder

Kelley has been a software developer for 4.5 years, mostly doing Scala at a variety of startups in San Francisco.. Originally she went to school for Business, then learned how to program in a three month coding bootcamp about 5 years ago. Like all developers, most skills required for software development were learned outside of “formal training.” She took an interest in coding education because it was both formal and informal education that helped her develop her career as a software developer.

Starting ScalaBridge
In 2015, I gave my first conference talk at Scala Days in New York. I was one of 3 women speaking at the conference, and one of only a handful even at the conference. There are also a lot of misconceptions out there that Scala is too hard for beginners, which is so not true! I’d heard great things about other *Bridges and knew one had to exist for Scala to help bridge these gaps.

We had our first workshop in February of 2017 (in San Francisco), and since then have helped other chapters in 10 cities hold their own workshops. We had our second workshop in SF in August of 2017.

Developing the Scala workshops
The biggest challenge at the beginning was figuring out what to teach. We initially held some curriculum hack days with volunteers to help write the curriculum, but it became obvious that that would not scale. The (eventual) organizer of several ScalaBridge workshops, Noel Welsh, ended up donating the curriculum that his consulting company had created for introductory Scala. It was a great way to involve the community and get up and running!

Diverse Teaching Team
Finding teachers was one of the most fun parts of the process. I used my network (mostly through Twitter) to connect with other people in the Scala community that wanted to help out. Meeting other people that value education and inclusivity in the Scala community was really exciting for me, and a huge benefit for growing diversity in the community.

Volunteer Training
We had a new team of volunteers working together to create the first workshop in SF. We piloted some new Bridge Foundry inclusion training curriculum. This pre-workshop volunteer training helped the volunteer organizers and teachers be prepared to create a safe and effective learning environment at the workshop. We practiced how to initiate difficult conversation when needed and how to set the stage to increase likelihood of positive, respectful interactions.

Food
Our first workshop was on a beautiful day, luckily our venue (Sharethrough) had a beautiful back deck so the snack breaks allowed people to get some fresh air, recharge, and get to know the other attendees.

Installfest
We tried to streamline the installation as much as possible, but it was super useful to have the installfest so we could debug some of the corner cases that inevitably come up.

Day of Coding
The BridgeTroll app was incredibly useful in helping split up groups by experience level. We had 4 rooms, so we used Harry Potter houses to divide the sections which was fun.

Could someone update the link to the How You Can Help form?

The link shows up on the website home page, near the bottom ("Help make stuff happen")

The new link should be this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnNpjpnVFrUtvM5D-0cZGfqYZFXzv-uyrufDURdiXBtw2foQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
(This version of the form is properly owned by Bridge Foundry and is accessible by the right people.)

Thanks!

add to website nav a new menu item "How To"
under that there would be:

• Make a Bridge
• Organize a Workshop
• Open Source Pairing Night (not ready yet, work-in-progress
• Help Make Stuff Happen

probably right under "We build bridges."

"Empower people with technology through teaching and facilitating access, enlarging the community of people who give back and teach others."

The United States is facing a serious challenge to our civil rights and the ideals our country has worked to uphold through over a century of increasing the support of the rights of all people. Bridge Foundry was created to foster positive change in providing equal access and opportunity.

We have a voice and a platform for reaching people who have the privilege and power that comes with tech skills, and many of those people, who have been active teachers and organizers of Bridge activities, are are feeling very disempowered right. I've been thinking of how we might provide leadership in these times.

Though our focus is on technology education, our work rests on a foundation of basic human rights, and other organizations that protect those rights make it possible to do what we do.

Inspired by this tweet. I thought that maybe we could put together a list of organizations that support the civil rights of marginalized people, so that our community might consider how we as individuals might support fundamental needs and rights, without which our work is not possible.

We are not a political organization, and specifically exclude political activities in our policy. By focusing on non-profit organizations that support human rights which are aligned with our work, we can keep this initiative out of the political sphere while making it immediately actionable.

@ardan-bkennedy observed that this would be more awesome (and impactful) if we could have some kind of on-going initiative and not just a one-time message

would be nice to have tests to make sure we don't accidentally deploy broken links

Copyright needs update for 2017.

Would be nice to have rollover anchor tags like on the source markdown

looking like this on rollover

and allowing to link to individuals on the page

I was thinking we should start with a blog tab, then create a different issue to have latest posts featured on the home page or something

sent separate note via email to @tsykoduk -- my proposal is to not use blog.bridgefoundry.org moving forward (simply reverting that content to RailsBridge, since we haven't written any blog posts since switching the name, it appears to have no inbound links: google search for link:blog.bridgefoundry.org yields no search results, so I think it is safe not to redirect from there

Basically, I've gotten feedback that outside philanthropic funders like to see images of people: target audience, volunteers doing the work of the organization, or people experiencing its benefits. Here's an example: http://www.lpfi.org/

Can we put this video on the page?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq5hd55Tr-I

it mentions Google & Heroku, which are two Bridge Foundry sponsors, and it's a fun, visual representation of the kind of enthusiasm we inspire!

I applied for an unlimited free account (since this is open source) at https://www.browserstack.com to test this more -- I tried it on an online checker and it looked like the navbar didn't render in older browser.

https://bridgefoundry.org/ Technically the list under the header "Workshops" is of Bridges. Shouldn't the header reflect that?

I understand that "Workshops" may be more useful to the initial visitor, but it might be easier in the long run if we just call the bridges "Bridges" right off the bat.

You are currently using the 'rdiscount' Markdown engine, which will not be supported on GitHub Pages after May 1st. At that time, your site will use 'kramdown' for markdown rendering instead. To suppress this warning, remove the 'markdown' setting in your site's '_config.yml' file and confirm your site renders as expected. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/updating-your-markdown-processor-to-kramdown.

GitHub Pages was recently upgraded to Jekyll 3.0. It may help to confirm you're using the correct dependencies:

https://github.com/blog/2100-github-pages-now-faster-and-simpler-with-jekyll-3-0

For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see:

https://help.github.com/articles/troubleshooting-jekyll-builds

If you have any questions you can contact us by replying to this email.

Very curious. I don't see any page with that title in the jekyll source code. It's not available on local builds (you get a 404 not found).

curl'ing the URL says that the response comes from Server: GitHub.com

What sorcery is this?

I was thinking that maybe we should just make the About section it's own page and add a sponsor section under that for now. We want to highlight three sponsors:

• Heroku
• Google
• DNSimple

and then link to the RailsBridge sponsors page.

I the latest version I colorized the image to make the text overlay more readable, but it ended up being a bit dark.

@LauraKirby suggested this, which I think would be better:

Since we've selected someone for the Finance Manager position, it would be best to take down this blog post: https://bridgefoundry.org/2018/04/18/finance-manager

Or we could update it to announce Jeneen's new role with the organization?

I like the simplicity of using github pages, since I want to keep this to a content-only website for now. I think Jekyll is a nice solution for generating pages with some common elements.

It would be delightful if someone wanted to refactor the site to use jekyll for it's two current pages, then we can grow it into a bigger site without a lot of repeated code.

Image options from Meetup event

• http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/c/7/0/highres_9236432.jpeg

I was thinking it would be good to crop the middle of the first two photos and might make nice banner like images, then put the group photo at the bottom.

would be great to have the first paragraph of the latest post with "read more" along with the links to additional blog posts

It looks like your CoC page is missing. I use this as an example of a great lightweight code of conduct for small communities and would like to be able to access it again.

https://bridgefoundry.org/code-of-conduct/ leads to a 404 and I'm not finding any file in this repo that it would be pointing to. If BF no longer supports this code of conduct, could you make the original text available in a gist? Thanks.

would be lovely to have blog post authors as part of the meta data that would automatically appear with nice formatting under the title with the date.

it looks like it is trying to turn things into smart quotes, but they aren't escaped correctly:

Right now we've only got one blog post, but this would be good for the future

I like the 18F guides template which has this at the bottom of every page:

<p><a href="https://github.com/18F/agile/edit/18f-pages/index.html">Edit this page</a> or <a href="https://github.com/18F/agile/issues">file an issue</a> on GitHub.</p>

not sure exactly where the code is, but it's in this jekyll template: https://github.com/18F/guides-style

Also, totally open to other ideas that accomplish the goal of making people aware that the site is on github and that they can contribute (also a quick link for us since this repo link is soo loooong!)

Hiya folks! I am doing some (late) spring cleaning, and realized I have a blog that is still live, but hasn't been updated since 2014. It lives at http://blog.bridgefoundry.org/.

I am not entirely sure, but I suspect the current site is a static generator, so if you let me know which one, I can do an export of the blog posts and drop them in a pull request.

That is, of course, if you folks want to keep them at all. Let me know!

Calling attention to @ultrasaurus, as e was my primary liaison for hosting. ^_^

we're working on some content re-organization, so we should probably wait to translate it. @carlisia has volunteered to help with the translation when we are ready

The Teaching Kids link under "Other Initiatives" in index.html appears to be broken. I couldn't find an updated link.

Thoughts? This will make it faster/easier to checkout the site and build it for the first time.

We would like to publish information about how to make a workshop that does not refer to a specific technology or location.

We could start with the RailsBridge cookbook and edit/rewrite. If other people have good references from other Bridges, please add references!

We want a page on the site where this should go.

1. email [email protected]
2. have a meeting with Sarah Allen (@ultrasaurus) to discuss your understanding of the mission
3. recruit more leaders/teachers! make sure you have a diverse crew (we'll help)
4. figure out what to teach
5. hold a workshop
6. repeat

common patterns that work

• organizing with github issues for workshops
• bridgetroll for registration
• work within an existing ecosystem (meetups, connecting with other community organizations, conferences, etc.)

sentence to link: Volunteer for a workshop near you.
link: https://www.bridgetroll.org/

List of Bridges and their leaders should be dynamically pulled from bridgetroll and displayed on the site. Anecdotally we hear that new coders are inspired by seeing the leaders in our community, so we would like to highlight these amazing leaders! It also humanizes the organization and credits the people who do the work.

Bridgetroll issue: railsbridge/bridge_troll#426

v1:

• Identify & List Bridges, and their leaders
• link to bridgetroll

add google analytics to website

I'm going to do this right now as part of integrating #87.

I thought it was there once...

We should make a small version of this and put it in the header to the left of "Bridge Foundry"
https://github.com/bridgefoundry/bridgefoundry.github.io/blob/master/images/bridge.png

Either I don't know or don't remember how to do pull requests on the website, as it's saying I need to be working on a branch. So hoping someone can do this for me:

I suggest adding the following language to the Donate page, the line after "Your donation is fully tax-deductible. See About BridgeFoundry for more non-profit details, including our EIN":

"We track all donations on our publicly accessible finance dashboard. If you prefer to have your donation listed as anonymous, please indicate that in the comments field during PayPal checkout or contact us for payments made other ways."

(Link on contact us to [email protected])

I can see arguments both ways on whether to link to the actual finance dashboard from that sentence.
