There’s a thoughtful discussion about engaging more women in the tech conference spaces, and the point was made that BlogHer has resumes.  The question of the responsibility of people who want to talk to actively seek a speaking role came up but Elisa kinda shouted it down.  This stuff is so important and yet there is an issue of people on both sides of the  topic being wiling to take the chip off their shoulders and understand that we’re all trying to change the world.  Okay… maybe the Wall Street Journal isn’t trying to change the world, but who looks to them as an authoritative voice?  Okay, there are a lot of men and women who DO look to them as an authoritative voice, but our challenge is to figure out how to route around the Journal and their ilk.
