GAH!!! I then followed your link to the JREF forum, and I think I need a drink now. Thanks for speaking up.

I would not be able to come, as I am in OKC, but had to suggest another kick ass awesome music suggestion: Amanda Palmer. She has a great single called "Oasis" about rape, abortion, and religion. I love her. Found my way over here from Skepchick, and have now added you to my RSS feed and Twitter!

Maybe do a test run and then aim for a track at DC in the future? We will be in the US next summer and if it works out I would love to participate. I can contribute to the areas of science and research, raising children abroad, bi-lingual and cultural children, and the struggles of being girlfriendless in a foreign country! Plus I am sure we can find other uses for my vast randomness :) Rock on girl I love it! I am in! Maybe do a test run and then aim for a track at DC in the future?

Fundamentally these events are about tearing down the barriers to sharing knowledge within communities, so they'd seem to be universally applicable. I encourage the womenfolk of Dixie to give it a try. ;^D The BarCamp conference format has been adapted to many different domains, from tech (where it originated) to the creative arts, banking, photography, politics, education, skepticism and many others.

If there is to be any sort of major project (which, I should point out - evidence of prior skeptical-based-conferences have illustrated that they have been of equal interest to both genders) - it probably is a little too late to get it into the Dragon*Con schedule? But certainly I'm a member of sites that people could check out: <a href="http://www.criticalteaching.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.criticalteaching.org/</a> is one. :) They'll be producing resources for interested attendees of D*C. :) I elaborated on Facebook, but suggest perhaps a breakfast on one of the mornings as an informal-get-together.
