Do you know if there are any LGBTQ groups for workers in the tech industry? There are some national (eg. http://www.intertechlgbt.com/ ) but I haven't managed to find something with a broad geographical target (eg. European or International). It doesn't have to be an organization, a mailing list or a social media group is sufficient.

If not, is anyone interested on starting something? (Nothing too fancy , I guess a mailing list would be sufficient given a small number of participants).

For the past one and a half month I have switched to using a floor desk. I dont know if it is a thing, I just used something like this sans the actual desk :P http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dollars.html .

I am a CS student from Athens, Greece. It's this time of my life that I must get into a demanding and high throughtput work environment with lots of learning opportunities (aka internship). Unfortunately good internship opportunities in Greece (I cant speak for other countries) are very rare. Especialy for modern technologies like Rails etc (lack of a mature startup ecosystem).

Are there any Ruby/Rails startups willing to accept remote interns/apprentices? If yes please include email to send CV/Motivation letter. I guesss a lot of people (including me) would really love working for a startup (especialy one that is using our favorite programming languages, tools etc.) . Additionaly I think that such opportunities would benefit both sides as well as the general local ecosystem (eg. more experienced people in Greece).

PS. This question is for both paid and unpaid internships.
