I apologize for my role in that result. </div><div><br></div><div>I encourage in the BOF the idea to potentially review key conference marketing material with an eye toward the messaging before it goes public, be discussed. Perhaps OSGeo could create a multi-cultural conference marketing committee for this purpose? </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, one of my goals at FOSS4G EU co-leading the GeoForAll discussions will be to help to identify what the GeoForAll community does in Seoul during BOF and other open conference times. </div><div><br></div><div>I wish you nothing but the best in your upcoming conference.</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully, </div><div><br></div><div>Charlie Schweik</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 12:01 PM, Sanghee Shin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shshin@gaia3d.com" target="_blank">shshin@gaia3d.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div style="-ms-word-wrap: break-word;"><div>Dear All,

There may be some recent events that folks aren't aware of, that may be relevant -- some specifically have to do with conferences. This list is not R-rated, so rather than directly describe the relevant events, I'll just give you search queries that will bring them up:<br><br></div>"PyCon donglegate"<br></div>"TechCrunch sexism"<br></div>"Pax Dickenson brogrammer"<br></div>"GamerGate"<br><br></div>Those are only tips of the iceberg -- they are specific symptoms of a more general attitude. I've listed them in order of seriousness. I expect that these will get the "that's just PC" objection, but are threats of rape and murder really just "for fun"? And if the objection is that women just just force their way into tech, I have two words for you: hiring manager. And no, not all of us have the resources to start our own companies. Venture funding is rarely offered to women.<br><br>When I worked as a software engineer for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the 90s, the group I was in was half women. No, not secretaries and support staff -- engineers. But there was a difference in attitude, which one can see in the fact that although DEC ceased to exist in 1998 (sold to Compaq), we *still have reunions* and active social networks. The switch to deliberately provoking competition and infighting between employees, via stack ranking and similar management fads, is exacerbating the rise of sexism in tech -- there is now an aspect of "us against them". Because employment is a zero-sum game, (re)entry of women in tech would mean fewer positions and less money for men. (Competing against other men doesn't trigger the same level of response since men are already in the pool -- it's the thought of the pool *doubling* that is causing this fear.) Since this style of management (stemming from Jack Welch) is taught in b-schools, it will take some time to turn the ship around. But there are some signs of light: Microsoft recently cancelled stack ranking, and is making a significant effort to reestablish teamwork and cooperation. That took being publicly shamed (see the article in Vanity Fair, titled ~ "How Stack Ranking Killed Innovation at Microsoft") and a new CEO (Satya Nadella, replacing Steve Ballmer).<br><br></div>There's also plain old bias. This research by Google HR is fascinating:<br><a href="https://www.gv.com/lib/unconscious-bias-at-work" target="_blank">https://www.gv.com/lib/unconscious-bias-at-work</a><br><div><div><div><div>Watch especially where ~ the entire audience, men and women both, fails the test, right there on camera...<br><br></div></div></div></div></div>
