I did state in the blogpost that I know Andrew is a good chap and I respect him and his intentions, and I don't for a minute think he set out to make this event 100% male. My issue is in his response to my challenge on it, and the lack of acknowledgement by the organisers that an 100% male lineup isn't ideal.

I also find it quite hard to believe that amongst companies like Google and Facebook, there aren't enough highly-qualified female/minority devs who could've spoken. And besides, the speaker roster isn't exclusive to those three companies, either.

thanks!
