I am afraid that I am personally not yet sure whether I wish that. I am not going to those places and events to see beautiful ladies, get dates later and the like. What I personally would like is the most qualified submissions. Whether that happens to be from a male, female, etc, that does not matter so much to me. When I visit these conferences I would like to have the best technical experience and then the socialization as the secondary trait. Even then, I do not mind what gender I am socializing with. I hope that this effort for fixing the "gender ratio" will not compromise the quality of the conferences. I personally believe more in meritocracy than "genderocracy". Therefore, I would rather put the effort into attracting world-wide and recognized industry and community experts than ladies just for the sake of being females. I agree about the CoC, however, gender independently. This is not such a big concern for me, but I appreciate that if it is for some other people. I have personally never seen the QtCS, Qt dev days, etc, code of conducts either and they were amazing events. Qt dev days in Munich (2011?) had many ladies around, too. Either way, If the organizers can do something to make the attendants feel comfortable without too much extra work, I think they ought to try. _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
