I think it is important to note that LambdaConf 2016 was successful. In organizers' own words, "It just means there is a space in this world for an indie conference that rigorously ensures professional conduct at the event, but leaves other matters at the door." People who protested against LambdaConf 2016 organized alternative confrence MoonConf at the same place at the same time. Two conferences had cordial relationship. Nothing people worried about actually happened. http://degoes.net/articles/post-lambdaconf-2016 http://degoes.net/articles/post-lambdaconf-2016
