🤔 I was curious about visualising it in a timeline, so I went searching for something as the timeline template in canva is not really what I wanted and there wasn't many options (they have amazing selection of templates for social media, and I'm still heavily using them).
Anyway, I digress, I found visme.co which is similar to canva but they have lots of templates for timelines, so I decided to try them out.

With my list in hand, I started adding info to a template I liked. Thank goodness I decided to keep track of groups added, removed and changed over the years!

🥳 And here's the final result! Not too shabby for a quick modification and change of colours.

I'm still mind-blown 🤯 with the amount of diversity in tech groups here on the island of Ireland. It's still very much needed and we all have a lot of work to do. As long as the community work together, I hope we will make it better for all as the time goes by.

📢 Call to Action
