Seriously, if your tech conference has a lineup of all white men, just close up shop and go home. You’ve failed.

@aral What is the appropriate quota then for a conference with 6 speakers? It looks like a good line up to me. -
@RossDargan Not a quota, Ross. It just shows that you don’t have a diverse community. Quota is entirely the wrong way to think about it. -
@aral ok, I admit I was leading there. Is this the fault of the conference, or the industry? I don't know how they picked the speakers.
