Well, their stated goal is a 1:1 ratio of men to women. While their actual result of a 40/60 men to women ratio is closer to their goal than their estimated 85/15 ratio, they still didn't reach it. If having a predominately male crowd at a hackathon is a bad thing, doesn't it also follow that having a predominately female crowd is bad as well? N.B.: I wouldn't call 40/60 predominate, so to me, it seems like their methods were nearly good enough.
