It appears as though, through some combination of misunderstandings and/or the usual crud that anything on the web attracts after being left alone a while, some stuff got included here that shouldn't have been. I've cleaned it up.
While I'm at it, though: this group isn't just about ME identifying conferences and groups with a disturbing shortage of women, it's about YOU doing so as well. So, please, feel free to add any you see!
And in case you think that this doesn't happen any more, check out the C4[2] conference (at
http://rentzsch.com/c4/twoOpen). Number of women speakers: zero. Number of women speakers at the previous two C4 conferences: zero. Yes, really.
