This is the second occurrence this year. The first one was in February at other PyCon anotherplace. After I reached out to the organizers privately, they added two women speakers last minute.
Why is this still happening? I don't want to hear invalid excuses. I want accountability. What have you tried? Did you reach out? Did you offer financial aid? Mentorship? Did you encourage the minorities to apply?
