TBH, my impression is that this thread is searching for a shed to color...
Though I started the thread, I agree somewhat with this conclusion. Of course all events are different and participants need to read the fine (or not-so-fine) print to learn more. But, branding matters. I attended Hac NYC and Hac Boston over the past few months and enjoyed both a great deal. However, when I told non-Haskell friends that I attended "Haskell hackathons", I got several responses of the form "... and how many women were at these events?" It just got me thinking. Anyway, it seems a fair conclusion to draw from these responses is that I should just do what I want -- there's no consensus to diverge from! Thanks, Richard
