@callmeradical @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @botchagalupe @monkchips @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca It's really important. We need more diversity (not just women) in tech in general. Needs constant reminders. Won't always get it right
2017-10-13 07:56:55@callmeradical @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @botchagalupe @monkchips @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca So it's important to call out a lack of diversity. But don't imagine it's always because people don't care.
2017-10-13 07:57:55@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston I had no idea when she was arriving. I was asked to join a panel 5 minutes before it occurred. (1)
2017-10-13 09:22:33@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston The organizer's held us waiting to the last "second" to see if she was able to make it. (2)
2017-10-13 09:23:30@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston Simon and I were perfectly willing to have her come in and do the presentation instead of us. In fact I was hoping she could make it (3)
2017-10-13 09:24:08@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston We were also told that she would be added to the panel when she arrived (4)
2017-10-13 09:24:33@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston I take offence that I am being accused of being a bad actor here.... (5)
2017-10-13 09:25:35@nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston Be honest Nicole I expected more of your expectation of me... fog of war :(
2017-10-13 09:26:30@PaulDJohnston @callmeradical @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca In general I don't speak at conferences or panels that don't have diverse speakers. This was a chaotic situation where I was asked to help
2017-10-13 09:38:16@PaulDJohnston @callmeradical @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca Agree the optics were not good from a far and I wish I would have asked to add a diverse panelist (easier now harder then) fog of war
2017-10-13 09:41:46@botchagalupe @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston Dude, this is the 3rd all-guy panel you've been on in the last 1m. Instead of being defensive, how about "sorry, here's how I'll do better"?
2017-10-13 09:45:03@botchagalupe @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston Obvs an occasional snafu is totally understandable but we've been talking about this as a community for ages now.
2017-10-13 09:48:12@botchagalupe @nicolefv @mipsytipsy @monkchips @callmeradical @swardley @ben11kehoe @ServerlessConf @marknca @PaulDJohnston If this was a one-off then I think you'd be right to feel aggrieved at an assumption of bad faith, but it's not.
