@aral did any women apply to be speakers?

@aran384 I do not know their process. The organiser stated that he was ‘happy with the process’ and didn’t feel a need to defend/explain it. -
@aral thats the first thing that I noticed when reading the article you tweeted, no mention of women applying what ever the process -
@aran384 Again, we will not know whether women applied or whether it was curated as organiser is happy with it & feels no need to explain. -
@aral I always find this kind of criticism hard to give considering don't know the full details. Hard to explain reasonings in short tweet -
@aran384 My criticism is directed towards the privilege of not feeling the need to explain. -
@aral without full details its hard to judge I believe. You don't know all the facts about the processes so can't really judge it. -
@aran384 I agree. But if you somehow end up with a 100% male roster, you should damn well feel the need to explain it at least. - 1 more reply

@aral@poteland@steveklabnik Not necessarily. There is a risk of having a quota, which would be bad. However, there's little need for one -
@pilky@poteland@steveklabnik Entirely a straw man. That is not what I was saying at all and you know it. -
@aral You also know and are choosing to ignore the fact that (again: sadly) too few talks are submitted by women.@pilky@steveklabnik -
@poteland@pilky@steveklabnik We don’t even know whether there was a call for speakers or speakers were curated.
