>I am writing this today because yet another tech conference -- Edge: Building Out From the Edge of Web Technology -- has been announced and this time there is exactly one woman confirmed to speak.
That's a horrible ratio, but it's most certainly not an all-male panel.
Reminds me of an article on "brogramming", in which the best example they could find of brogramming was a marketing executive (not a programmer) giving a sexist speech.

- jere 14y agoWhat's your point? Are you saying the crime here is not posting a profile because they were waiting on a photo (which is now posted)? The author of the post is asking panelists to protest all male panels but this is not one, so I'm not sure what she's asking. To protest less than X women or less than X% women? What line are we asking not to be crossed?
- LaGrange 14y agoThe point is, the female speaker appeared after publishing this post. I guess it's great the organizers relented. She was asking for what actually happened. The first reaction from the organizers to what happened wasn't exactly promising as well.
- jere 14y agoOk. If that's the case, I take back my comment. It's not clear from the article though. Usually updates are clearly noted in an article with brackets and italics and the original content is left untouched.
