@johnallsopp I *loved* Roseanne when I was growing up. Our whole family watched it together. But I haven’t get been able to bring myself to watch the reboot. It just feels like it would ruin it.
I had a meeting this morning at IBM and was pleasantly surprised that every software dev manager in the team was a woman! Can’t think of any other Sydney tech companies where that’s true…

I just went into the ladies room at the coworking space and heard the woman at the other end of the stalls having a conversation ON HER MOBILE PHONE.
She kept right on talking over her own flush, and then I heard the water at the sink run for ONE SECOND, TOPS. I hid in my stall until she left so I never got a look at her.
And now it’s like, someone around me is a total sociopath. Who could it be?! How am I supposed to concentrate now??
@Jonwestenberg WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE.
Me: “Hey, my calendar script cron job failed this morning. Can you take a look at the server?”
The Snook: “Whoops. I filled up the disk with my WoW auction house scraper that I forgot was running.” đ
@gilmae Is this because I asked you to be a meetup organiser? đ
@Amys_Kapers @rosemary THATâS WHAT THE SILENT BUTTON IS FOR!
Still tickets to hear this amazing talk in Melbourne tomorrow and Sydney on Thursday! https://t.co/9YwrwvXS5p

@Erdbeervogel @yow_conf @agileaus We’ve been trying a few different things. 1) We now cover travel for domestic speakers for all events; 2) we offer diversity scholarships (inc. travel and ticket) for folks from underrepresented groups to attend…
@Erdbeervogel @yow_conf @agileaus 3) we’ve run a speaker development program for women in tech for the past three years that provides a free full day of professional speaker training (applications for 2018 still open now! https://t.co/xb1LWPKFaL)
@Erdbeervogel @yow_conf @agileaus 4) We also have a lot of women on the team and try to ensure diverse lineups on the Program committee. Half of our evangelist team are women.
@Erdbeervogel @yow_conf @agileaus All of that aside – we’re still not perfect. Our events range from our December confs with one-third women speakers down to LambdaJam, which only has 10%. (For that one, we’ve introduced an intro day to try to provide an on-ramp for folks new to the field.)
@joannejacobs @ChiefDisrupter @drpuffa @charlottejee @JanOwenAM @NatalieRens @Ganjm001 @thatpatrickguy @Anne__Lawrence @catrionawallace @angelapriestley @kirstinferguson @kcarruthers @annie_parker @womeninmediaOZ I mentioned that one last night. It’s really aimed at Marketing/Advertising/Media though, which is just one of the sectors covered in the big list in the original post.
@damncabbage I hate you.
In which I talk a bit about some of @yow_conf’s efforts to improve diversity at our events… There’s always room for improvement! https://t.co/9ITGyVI0yo
