Hi, I tried to check how many women were there on YAPC::NA::2009 and YAPC::EU::2009 and found that there were 4% ad 5% respectively. In Lisbon there 6% of the speakers were women.
This seems to be better than the open source average (1.5%) but lower than than the IT average which is somewhere between 10-30% which in turn is still way low. I'd like to draw the attention of the future organizers of both YAPCs and Perl Workshops to the blog entry Skud wrote on how to get more women speakers. thank you Gabor my blog about this: http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/08/1250993693.html _______________________________________________ Conferences mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yapceurope.org/mailman/listinfo/conferences
