Just so. And this is one of the primary reasons why I don't hang out in communities like this very much, and is the reason why I don't attend developer conferences. Every step I take in that world is a reminder of why I'm not welcome. | [reply] |
that's a pity. :-/
I have to say that my personal experience at YAPCs and perl workshops is very good; I even was member of the orga team for the first time recently. We added a short policy against discrimination and harassment to our call for participation. I would like to encourage you to participate in conferences, and in case of an issue, talk to the orga team or the person in question; maybe that's the best way to make the right people aware of the problem. =)

Please don't take this community as an example. There seem to be some people who make bad jokes (possibly unintended), and unfortunately a number of machos who take part in such discussions and use all means to discredit anybody who is complaining. This is easy because it's anonmyous.
I guess at conferences this is better. If those people are attending (what I doubt), then at least they usually don't dare to say aloud what they've written here.

I just popped up to say "Hello!"
I'll soon return back down below
I came to further my agenda
That single issue you'll remember
My raison d'etre for contributions
No questions to ask nor proffered solutions
No molehills flattened just mountains raised
My PC issue for which I must be praised
My single issue to disturb the peace
The issue that gives my life its lease
And now I've done my duty clear
That's it. I'm out of here | [reply] |
