 Hi, my name is Margan, and I'm going to share with you my personal story and the story of my country, Colombia. First, I'm Colombian, so South America, and the topics that I really matter is education, tech, women, and leadership. And I need to say that I heard a little of my throat, so excuse me if I can speak really fast and take a little bit, so drink some water. So the first thing that I like to clarify is Colombia, not Colombia. Colombia is a really cool university in the United States, New York, but most of the foreign people tell, spell Colombia, not Colombia. And a real cool thing is we have different scenarios in a really rich views. This is the Oronoco and the Seven Colors Sea. We have the Five Colors Sea in the Caribe. We have the Amazon, we have the Pacific Coast, this is Chaco, and also in the Caribe we have the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, and it's the highest coastal mountain range in the world, and it's with snow. At the Andes, where this is the Cocora Valley, the wax palm is the national tree, and in the Andes we have my city, Medellin, this is Medellin, Colombia. So what happened when we talked about Medellin? Probably you talked about this, Medellin, Colombia. This is the word that we have, and we sign the piece with the gorillas. And then probably you see Netflix and you saw Narcos, of course, and you talked about Pablo Escobar and all the drug stuffs. But this is not the true story that are happening right now in my country. So this is JSConf, it's the first conference that we have in my city. This is a picture from 2018. I was a co-organizer also in 2017. And this is where everything happened. This is an innovation hub in my city that is Rutayene. Rutayene opened the doors to us, the first leaders of the communities. And actually, I'd like to recommend you this talk, the name of the talk is Butterfly JS Effect. And the creators of this talk is Julian Duque, that is here in the Herocoboot. And Buritica, that lives actually in New York. Personal Julian was my first mentor in all this journey that we began with Penelope's death. And this is the first meetup that we launch, and I'm going to share you this story. I was here in a start-up weekend from IoT, Internet of Things. And I was the only woman in that place as a mentor. So I share my feelings with Julian. And I shared them why here are more women. So he told me that, hey, we like to create a group, and not school girls. So we create a group, and not school girls. And the leaders in this chapter was Julian Duque, Adriana Estrada, that you already know them yesterday in the main keynote space. And this is Juliana. Juliana was one of the leaders, women leaders that began all the story. The handle was Narajita Golden. And in 2016, they came to the United States. And I decided to Narajita to take care of the community. So we began with only 10 girls, really inspired about technology, about note, and the cool things that we can create with this. So we began a chapter. And actually the government shared our group in a newsletter and arrived 250 women to our first meetup in 2016. But they thought that we are going to teach them digital marketing. So it was like, no. And actually, we have Gloria. I want to share the story of Gloria. Gloria is a woman who lives in the Paris area of our city. And she made arepas. Arepas is like a bread made from corn from Colombia. And she came here to try to how to configure my Twitter. So we say, Gloria, no. This is like, you're going to do your first hello word. And she's like, what the fuck? I don't know. I don't have an idea to do that. Sorry for the expression. But we decided to continue all the chapter and create this logo and this brand that the name is Pyrrina's Depth. And it's a Spanish word that the meaning is pioneers, developers. And this is the first group of us. And our personal hero was the first success story that we have. This is Milady. Yeah, the name is My Lady. Milady is a typical girl from the communes, the Paris area that we have in our city. She is a nanny. So they don't have the research to go to school or to go to university to study something that she will murder. So she loaned the ticket bus to go to Pioneras to Rutaene. And with no linear content, because we are only a meetup who get reunited one time a month. So she became curious about technology. And then, a year later, she could get her first job at tech. So this is the fun story. This is her first day in the company that allows to have Milady. This is when she called up for her first computer, her first laptop. He's the certificate because she was really consistent to all the meetups. So we created a certification of the commitment. And then she realized that she was really into Python. So we created the first conference in Columbia, Python. And I was also organizing in 2018. And she became the first volunteer for this conference. And then she taught us about Python. And this is 2016, when we are growing up. This is 2017. And then this is the thing, that we are focused in women for 14 to 28 young women. But they are white, because they are poor and unemployed. They have the biggest rate. So this is not only a gender issue. This is a real personal and human problem in our country. And the industry needs that. We already know that is a deficit of developers in the world. But in Columbia, they need 100 developers in the companies. And they only have 7,000 qualified developers through university, that right now is not the normal path. Because we have a lot of bootcamps and stuff. So this is the closing party that we have. And we realize that we need an organizing team. You already know yesterday at least Parodi. Perhaps you have the luck to see all these women in international conference, because they get international. And they could travel around the world, telling stories, not only about entrepreneurs, not only about companies, technical talks about what we are learning and sharing with our community. So here is a Scalcombe. It's other big conference right now in Columbia. We have seven big conference running in our country. Here's Manuela, traveled for her first time to Europe and get to GitHub. And here's Juliana, who could talk and share about accessibility in O'Reilly. And this is our first reunion as a community. And here is only nine communities. And Manuela was the only women in the table. But actually, this year, they reunite through Ruta Ene. And actually, right now, there are 19 leaders in women, leaders in communities in Columbia. So we are creating a change. This is a Django Girls Bycon. And actually, we create a synergies with other countries. So here is Daniela from Bolivia. And Platy, that is a cool startup for our country, who is very international for Latin people. And this is Maria Carolina. She is a really good engineer about internet of things and works in the first company in our country, in Internet of Things, that the name is Ubidot. And she could go to a bootcamp for startups for creating robotics and of gadgets in Silicon Valley. Here's Maria Paz. He went to Australia. And he run a really cool meetup for Angola and Brisbane. So he's taking the world of Pioneras to other countries. And here we are in NG, Bolivia. So in the conference of Angola and Bolivia, in the conference of Angola in Columbia. And then we receive an email from other leaders from other countries in our country. So here's Kelly from Baranquilla. And Maria Alejandra from Cali. This is Baranquilla. They have a really cool carnival there. And it's really fun. It's the second besides Rio. So we are welcome to go. This is the leaders in Baranquilla. Actually, Estella works here in Canada. And she's a really cool, really good developer. So this is Cali. Cali is the capital of Salsa. So if you'd like to learn how to dance, probably you need to go to Cali. And this is the leaders of Cali. And they bring the meetup and run 11 meetups this year in Cali. We decide to bring to our country, Latinity. Latinity is like the Grace Hopper Conference from Latin World. And we reunite 34 countries in one place, in Bogota, Colombia, the capital. And in 2018, so this is our number. So we began with five active members. You saw in the picture nine. But actually, the dedication and the commitment was five girls. And at the end of 2018, we are circled 1,200 active members in all Colombia, in three main cities. For 2020, we're going to be in six cities. So we are growing, growing. We create a special project that the name is Local Hurricanes. And you can find it here. And we decide to illustrate all the leaders in our community and share the story. Because we have different backgrounds, different stories to share with the community. And put faces to the role models to the new generation of girls in our country. So for 2020, we're going to be in Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, that we already are. And in Bogota, Cartagena will be the news chapters. And in 2018, we create a bootcamp and 85% of the 24 Pioneras, so 20 of them, graduate for our first bootcamp, three months a comedian. And with linear content and they graduate last as front-end developers. So for 2020, we like to run two bootcamps. And this is our number. So in social media, you can find us as Pioneras Dev. And we have circled 5,000 pioneers in Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. We have different chats because we have different chapters to talk about what we need. Dependency of the latency of the information. So we have Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp. And in Meetup, we are like plus 1,500 pioneers. So we are going to launch our first conference this year, 2020. And we are going to host in Rutaene, our home, because it's the innovation hub when everything happens. And this is the main team of Pioneras Dev. And here's Liz. He is the apprault in NodeSource. We have two girls that also grow through Pioneras. And right now, they are web UI developers in Globalant. That is a big company in our country. And in Latin America, they have different offices. And this is the closing party right now. So we are creating opportunities. We are not only a media from gender to try to solve more equal participation of women. Yes, that is important for us. But we are giving these young girls opportunities in the industry through creating safe space to they learn and can choose with that they want to create in their careers. This is Pioneras Dev. And thank you for being here. If you have questions, I can answer because it's a little small room. So OK, that's a good question. We have really big issues about this because the Rutaene give us a space like is a venue. But we have a really poor girls background. So we need like giving them food and support like a pizza or cookies, something small. But we try to find them through companies. But yes, they are giving us in, we call it a space here. I don't know what's the relation. Like they bring them the cookies. But we don't have the phone. So we create like an initiative, a Shopify platform. And we sell the t-shirts. And you can get one. It's $35,000. It will be like $15 or something like that to run the community. Because in Medellin, we have the support. We have a really tech hub there. But in other cities, this does not happen. For example, Cartagena, Cartagena is a really beautiful city. And probably you see on the brochures of tourist stops. And will be the location for a lot of movies. But they don't have the companies or the tech hub to take these meetups. So we need to send them money to, they can run the chapters there. That's why. Another question, Carolina. We have a lot of, if you'd like to get involved to the community, you can write us through the web page. We have a form to fill the space. And you can, we have also a Gmail. We have through Google recently the domain and the emails for the nonprofit. Because we are an NGO organization, a registered NGO. But right now, we are running everything through our Gmail. So the name is PionerasDevelopers at gmail.com. And you can write us. And these are different things. For example, you can share your story. And we can, I don't know, to do a live Instagram video. And you can encourage all the girls. And you can connect it online with a meetup and propose a subject. And they already, we need to practice more our English. So it will be good if you are an international speaker to share with us your knowledge. So you are welcome to share with us in Pioneras. Yes, this year, we have a really big dream, ambitious dream. Because actually, we don't have an hour code in our country. I saw the video this year. And it's so Shakira, Shakira is a singer from our country. But it's all like, hmm, it's very funny. Because we don't have not only one chapter from our code. And that was our dream. So perhaps in 2020, we have in the high school and middle schools, hour of code, like perhaps a city initiative. Because imagine we have a new mayor. And she's very friendly with tech industry. And our biggest dream will be having in all the country. But right now, the thing is, they are like the word of mouth. So they share the story to, I went to a community. So what is a community? For example, Gloria, their son and their daughter think that Pioneras was like a church or something. Because we reunite on Saturdays from 2.00 to 6.00. Because it's their best schedule to they come there. Because most of them has another work. Or they are trying to study something or work in a call center, some that things happen. So we share with them like bring your friends. And perhaps this could be an option for you. So yeah, I think the main channel would be word of mouth for us. And social media. Actually, in Colombia, they don't have like a computer. But they have like a smartphone. It's really funny what they have. One year. One year. I mean, it depends, obviously, of the dedication of the women. But the main thing that we create is like the culture of self-learning. We share research in our web page. And we encourage them to. We create like different forms for Mentor. The name is Mentor. It's a really easy name for us Mentor. So the Mentor platform is a forum. And you can ask for one hour of mentorship for someone who could teach you some technology. And we did that because I know the drop down, it was really high. If you are very frustrated to your terminal, and you can fix the bug, and you close the laptop. And perhaps we lost some brilliant women who could give us a talk or became a leader. So we create Mentor, and right now we have circa 400 Mentors dedicated to our platform. Thank you so much. Muchas gracias. Merci beaucoup.
