Pycon 2013 tweet controversy, presumably.

Hmmm, I guess that just didn't make such a big impression on me. I mean, the PyCon people actually tried to do the right thing, even before the fact, and seemed to handle the situation correctly as it developed. The problems that resulted were probably due more to flaky personalities and poor judgment on the part of those personalities' management.

  I think that the problems went deeper than "flaky personalities and poor judgment on the part of those personalities' management" since Adria continues to feel/be threatened even a year later: https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/432401359090876418 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/432401359090876418 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/432397068821221376 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/432397068821221376 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/429362205432090624 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/429362205432090624 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426174124474396672 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426174124474396672 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426172318000226304 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426172318000226304 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426169399146319872 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426169399146319872 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426155496555282432 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/426155496555282432 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/423152997955170304 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/423152997955170304 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/412426406568919040 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/412426406568919040

    I guess that doesn't directly involve python in a technical context, but it is a notably controversial incident associated with the community.

      Umm, yeah, I probably shouldn't touch that stuff above with a 39.5' pole. What I meant to say was that although I'm sensitive to everyone's emotions, it would have been a better result for everyone involved had the two CEOs imposed a two-week gag order on all parties and then after all us chattering morons forgot it, issued a joint press release acknowledging the incident and reporting that all had been resolved to everyone's satisfaction through private dialogue. What I should have said instead was that I don't think the python "community" can really be blamed for it since they actually instituted an anti-harassment code of conduct before many other conferences and have actively, repeatedly sought and used input from advocates on this issue.

        Completely agree.
