For those that know me, I rarely provide constructive input
about NANOG matters due to my past affiliation, however, I just saw
that NANOG announced the Women mixer on Sunday before NANOG 91 and am
outraged for all of the young professional women who would like to
participate in NANOG. While the times are changing, women continue to
remain primary caregivers for families and this will require them to
desert their families a day early. I find it offensive personally and
feel like you may have missed the mark.
Minds are hard to read, so asking the question before being offended is
not an unproductive endeavour. That said, we are here now.
The amount of times I hear people complain about having to leave their
families is one of the reasons this industry has a problem keeping
young people - especially women.
Does anyone else feel the same?
If you have a better suggestion on what would work best, I'd be keen to
hear it.
