hi everyone,
ada initiative is hosting 2 upcoming workshops in SF on making the
workplace more inclusive to women. seems like a great opportunity for
anyone who might be interested in the mens' group and/or interested in
cutting through what might seem like confusion regarding what exactly
creates unwelcoming environments, how we can create them without seeming to
be assholes ourselves, and how to destroy them. :)

Hi Conferences!
The Ada initiative (An initiative supporting women in open technology and
culture) is running two "Allies" workshops in the SF Bay area which I
thought I'd send onto this list in case of interest.

I <3 my female hacker friends and pals but the ADA initiative caused me to
doubt their ideals You should research what happened at BSides SF last
year. I <3 the ada initiative too. I would really like to speak with
Valerie about how that went down and why they did what they did. In
private of course, so I can decide if I want to support them or find a
better way (like a group that teaches men that being feminine is not bad
and should not be used as an insult or maybe one that just plain treats
others with respect).

Take a look here if you are curious, I think it expresses what
happened and the reasoning behind it very well:

Seems to me that it was the organizers of bsides who decided what they
wanted to do in this situation --- it was their call how to respond.

Thanks for that link, that clears a bit up. It took a while for all that
dust to clear and honestly, I stopped getting in the middle of the drama
and focused on improving myself and my friends behaviors (telling them that
they shouldn't say things).
I think more people should go to this event. I do appreciate what the ada
initiative does and we can all help them succeed.
