And the response from the organizer should have been very simple and straight-forward: Ask the person to leave the conference and ideally, if it still had to take place, canceling their talk as well.
I doubt anything but praise would have resulted from that, even though the best outcome would be that it was kept private and became a little piece of background gossip floating around the Django-community.
- sneak 14y agoSorry to go all patriarchy here, but the little Schneier on my shoulder just explained to me how to get anyone's talk cancelled at a conference that institutes this sort of policy. I'm not sure that's a workable fix, either. This is sort of a hard problem.
- mtrimpe 14y agoJudging from the organizer's response there was little doubt concerning the validity of her claims in this case though. In other cases, pulling said person into a room, asking him if the claims are true and if so asking them to leave is already a big step forward.
