Hey dudul,
Thanks for your feedback. You mentioned ambiance and I think that's the correct thing to focus on.

That's one way that we're trying to create the right ambiance.
The free tickets are another attempt at the same goal. If we increase the number of female attendees, the chance of an unwelcoming ambiance for female attendees is further decreased.
You asked whether or not the ticket price was keeping female attendees away and that's an interesting question. We've been in discussions with various other conferences and it seems that there is evidence to suggest that women can earn less in tech than their male counterparts.
By removing money as a blocker for potential attendance, we hope to address this problem too.
If you have any suggestions for creating the right ambiance at the conference, we'd love to hear them as we mentioned in the blog post: http://softwarecircus.eu/diversity/ http://softwarecircus.eu/diversity/
Thanks.
