Presenter Info

Brenda is a "superhero of open source in Wellington" according to Wellingtonista. She's spearheaded the successful and very popular SuperHappyDevHouseAotearoa - a monthly hackathon where coders from across Wellington hang in one place and get their code on. Why this rocks is because SHDH is not about people from different companies competing or poaching staff, but about bringing together like-minded geeks to share knowledge, and that is just a little bit awesome.

Plus she has the largest collection of gadgets in the whole of Wellington, and is completely addicted to both Drupal and Coffee.
