Visual map of ECT organisation for Athens 2019

Many of the Genderchangers had been to HAL (Hackers at Large) in Enschede in 2001. They loved it, but there were very few women at the hackers camp. In fact it was generally difficult to get their female friends and family as enthused about GNU and recursive acronyms as they were.
They decided they wanted the /ETC to be similar to HAL but for women only. Another difference between the GCA workshops being given in Amsterdam and the /ETC was that the first was ongoing and in one place. The latter was in a place to which the group was invited, and was limited to a short period of time.
Over the years each /ETC developed its own particular character. In the beginning there was an attempt to have a specific theme each year.
The defining characteristics of an /ETC are: skill sharing, with free and open source technology, are women* only workshops, diy
