In regards to Fae's query about gender participation at the NYC conference.
I counted 37 females of 89 individuals in an official group photo of participants up on Commons, or 41.6%. I offer no opinion if any of those I counted at women were transexual. It was a simple count. From a very cursory peek at photos of the opening day crowd for the keynote, it seems that total attendance was probably in the 125-ish range. I am not sure if those who appeared in the group photo were a representative, random sample of participants, but they were a majority of those who were there, it would seem. I think we could say that "about 40% of conference participants were female." That this is not a question asked of registrants is a bit of an absurdity for an organization obsessed with the "gender gap" at En-WP, in my opinion. tim Tim Davenport /// Carrite on WP /// Randy from Boise on WPO Corvallis, OR, USA _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
