It's worth noting that the details of the reasons Crockford was uninvited have not been confirmed by any of the parties. This article takes speculation from elsewhere as announced truth and proceeds to dismiss inclusivity as a goal on that basis.
- noobermin 10y agoHere is a good update I missed: Formal statement from Nodevember[0] [0] http://nodevember.org/statement.html http://nodevember.org/statement.html
- mzw_mzw 10y ago"While we have a tremendous respect for Mr. Crockford's abilities as a speaker and his contributions to our craft, we became aware that based on private feedback - not simply the dialogue on Twitter - that his presence would make some speakers uncomfortable to the point where they refused to attend or speak." Any speakers who are made "uncomfortable" by Crockford's presence are pretty much guaranteed to be the sort of speakers who don't bring anything to your conference anyway. "We are in over our heads." Well, that's certainly the truth. I also notice that while they apologized so unreservedly, they didn't go so far as to reinvite Crockford.
