The signup form refuses to allow you to register for a ticket unless you check the “allow us to send spam” check box. That really doesn’t inspire confidence in the quality of the conference.
Yeah, I think so too. I'm sure the conference will be great and the speakers all excellent. The not-a-good-look part is whether or not that 7% is helped or hindered by this kind of line-up and whether or not it should be. I certainly wouldn't have expected close to a 50/50 gender split, but 1 / 15 is pretty low.
It's fine to disagree, finding and approaching good speakers is hard, especially during a pandemic I imagine. But then again the organizer Code Intelligence has 'driven by our passion for challenging the status quo' as one of their company values, so I think it's fair enough to point out?
Agreed, the single quota speaker certainly looks suspicious. I certainly don't need to listen to quota pep talk in a technical conference.
Thankfully this talk is about FairFuzz (afl-rb)
Which is a very interesting idea for mature code and was discussed to be included into AFL++ but was eventually not. Good for a seperate slave instance though. https://github.com/AFLplusplus/AFLplusplus/issues/18

That said it did accept my personal domains including one which is well NSFW so it looks like they just blacklisted the common free email providers.
