I have had to advise some startups to absolutely NOT do this in the hiring/not-hiring process. It's gross, and the whispernetworks make sure it's known.
No, startup, it is not a compliment to be asked to contribute to your codebase as an alternative to being hired.

This isn't how conference organizing works. If you only had one not-dude applicant, that means the program committee and organizers failed. I've run 10+ conferences and sat on many more program committees. It's your responsibility to make that number different.

If you think that a diverse team can't succeed because they may 'struggle to gel' and you're the one who hired them–it means you're a shitty manager and you've got a long way to go in the professional skills department and you don't deserve that team.

You can do what is right. Or you can do what is easier -right- now.
We all pay the cost. In our personal lives, in our foundations, in open source. We all get to work that much harder to fix things down the road, when one person, or a small group, make that easy decision.

I know the struggles of running conferences(for no profit). Your speakers MAKE your conference. They provide the content and help set the tone for the experience that makes your event sing.
Pay for your speakers' tickets(DUH). Pay for their travel. You are taking their time.

Weighing whether I actually care about a thing(to continue to work on it) and also think some people don't deserve the work I contribute has been a big part of the last few years for me.

I've been privy to the organizing of many web community confs, this is unfortunately not unique.
There's a white-knight personality that is drawn to this organizing work–the faux ally, and inevitably exploits communities to stroke their egos.
Thank you,
@ladyleet
, for sharing.
NgAtlanta and NodeAtlanta - the "other sides" of the story.
I'm appalled by the way the cancellation of these two conferences were handled, and how they are still being handled.
I don't speak up on everything, but I could not stay silent any longer.
