Count of female speakers

A crude estimate of the number of currently announced OSCON speakers yields 311 total:

In the Wiki spirit of boldness, I'll fill this estimate in on the main page, but I wanted to document how I arrived at this count. Rictic 00:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rictic, I was trying to do that the old-fashioned way (by eyeball) and it wasn't pretty ;) --Skud 02:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
No problem.

Count of female attendees

I talked to Shirley Bailes (who works for O'Reilly doing this stuff) and asked whether we could get an estimate of the percentage of women at this conf. She said she'd look into it and get back to me. --Skud 23:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
