"Donglegate" happened at a professional conference. The PlayHaven employee represented his employer. Adria Richards didn't even contact PlayHaven. The article points out PlayHaven implied the PyCon incident wasn't the only reason they decided to fire the employee. Richards was also fired and 10 months later was still unemployed.[1] People in the community criticized how everyone handled the incident. PyCon changed its code of conduct to discourage "public shaming".[2]
"Opalgate" went nowhere. Elia Schito kept his position and still mentions it in his Twitter profile.[3]
