Elections and Inclusion

I'm Patricia Aas and my day-job is training, contracting and consulting in application security. A considerable amount of my time is spent doing unpaid community work on things that I hope will help humanity in some way. One field is election security, especially in audit-ablity and transparency of computerized processes used in the counting of ballots. The other field is to improve the culture in the tech community so that more folks with diverse backgrounds will join us and thrive.

The time I can spend on these things is limited by the fact that this work is unpaid. So this is an experiment to see if I can make this scale in some way.

Some background on what I have done already

• Election Security talks
• elections.no website - dedicated to transparency and security in Norwegian election
• Inclusion talks
• techwomen.no website
• Tech Women Norway twitter account
• #include<C++> organization
• Ada Lovelace Day Conference
• including.no website - just an empty shell so far

Any sponsorship would mean being able to spend more time on these efforts.
