Keynote: "Diversity: We're Not Done Yet"
summary
Cites research that adding women raises group intelligence and creativity, cites 41% leave after ten years versus 17% men, and names concrete actions: PSF requires a code of conduct since 2012, grants totaling about 22,000 dollars to Django Girls, and PyLadies growth to roughly 12,000 members across ~70 locations tracked with the Meetup API and IPython notebooks. Recommends measurable hiring goals (increase women candidates by 20%), small fixes (use “women” not “female”), and active outreach, with examples that actually produced results.
