Here is what I wrote about WAM last year, which as you can see, pissed everyone off. So, I didn’t rerun it this year, but it would still be accurate, yes? 😉
Some of it, absolutely–there were some definite class and race stratification there, some most likely due to America’s sad inability to extend the information revolution downward.
HOWEVER, this version of WAM was a “mini-conference” organized by the local chapter for a weekend and it attracted mostly locals, so some of what you talked about in your post was mitigated–and I think that’s a really good idea for the local chapters to do exactly that kind of thing, for a lot of the reasons you raised.
Now, extending local chapters outside the big cities…therein lies, the rub, ne c’est pas?
BTW, glad to see you here Daisy, big fan, especially of your takedowns of Heart 😀
