Update Nov 2021: This slack channel has been inactive for a bit of time now.

Are you a woman in technology that works with SQL Server or other databases? You might like to join our new slack channel - sqlwit.slack.com.

Why have a slack channel for WIT?

Slack chat rooms are great for connecting with people and collaborating. Many DBAs work alone, and women in software development teams or working in IT often don’t have a lot of other women in their teams.

It’s a great experience to get to know other women who work in related fields and exchange ideas. Slack is a way we can do that.

What do people chat about?

Slack is flexible. You can create “channels” for different topics, and have conversations in real time, or even asynchronously with people around the world.

For starters, we have channels for topics like getting help, finding/advertising jobs, and blogging.

Members can talk in whatever channels you’re interested in and create new channels. The slack room will go wherever the group is interested.
