Just turned down the opportunity to speak at a web conf with an all-male speaker line-up and asked them to review their selection process.
@uliwitness It’s not my job to do the conference organiser’s job for them. Resources are out there if people are willing to look.

@aral And it's not uncommon for a speaker to say: "I'm not available right now, but my good friend X is good and looking for speaking gigs." -
@uliwitness I won’t presume to know their job better than they do. I don’t know their curatorial criteria, etc.

@aral I'd rather "do their job for them" by pointing them to a list of good female speakers than have another sausage-fest, just w/o me.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
