Like <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/mattetti/couchdb-perform-like-a-pr0n-star">this one</a>, from <a href="http://gogaruco.com/">this conference</a>.  Reading the comments also reveals such a sophisticated understanding of feminism that one is shocked, shocked, to learn that there are very few actual women at the conference.  (Thanks, Lani.)</p>
<p>Update: Mr Jender tells me there were 6 women out of the 200 at the conference, and he&#8217;s referred me to <a href="http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2009/04/gender-and-sex-at-gogaruco/">this</a> post on the topic by one of those women.</p>
