Same here. I'm even more definite I'm going in 2014. The incident has highlighted PyCon's diversity efforts, and much of the commentary in the aftermath has highlighted how far we have to go as an industry. I knew nothing of PyCon's efforts before attending. Once I walked into the exhibition hall and saw all the groups working towards diversity in the industry, I was stunned and impressed. Since then I've invited specific women to the Meetup group I run, and some specific women are coming. We'll have fun, take photographs, and hopefully even more women will come. Since PyCon I now find myself part of a movement. And I love that.
