Hello all, I updated the code used to guess gender of RIPE meeting attendees to also work for RIPE 74. (The format of the attendee list changed yet again, so I had to update the code to deal with the new format - we now have 11 formats for 74 meetings!) The code is in the same place: https://github.com/shane-kerr/ripemtggender The results for RIPE 74 are: 500.89 men 97.11 women 35.00 unguessable This makes our historical RIPE gender diversity table look something like this: 1 14 13.80 (98.57%) 0.20 ( 1.43%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 2 22 20.77 (94.41%) 1.23 ( 5.59%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 3 16 15.81 (98.81%) 0.19 ( 1.19%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4 26 25.56 (98.31%) 0.44 ( 1.69%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5 31 28.42 (91.68%) 2.58 ( 8.32%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 6 31 30.51 (98.42%) 0.49 ( 1.58%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 7 31 29.42 (94.90%) 1.58 ( 5.10%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 8 30 28.62 (95.40%) 1.38 ( 4.60%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 9 56 51.88 (92.64%) 4.12 ( 7.36%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 10 65 59.69 (91.83%) 5.31 ( 8.17%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 11 63 56.43 (89.57%) 6.57 (10.43%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 12 55 49.47 (89.95%) 5.53 (10.05%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 13 80 71.19 (88.99%) 8.81 (11.01%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 14 91 81.88 (89.98%) 9.12 (10.02%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 15 63 54.87 (87.10%) 8.13 (12.90%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 16 62 54.61 (88.08%) 7.39 (11.92%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 17 82 66.56 (81.17%) 15.44 (18.83%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 18 72 63.04 (87.56%) 8.96 (12.44%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 19 75 61.24 (81.65%) 13.76 (18.35%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 20 98 83.06 (84.76%) 14.94 (15.24%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 21 101 80.84 (80.04%) 20.16 (19.96%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 22 95 78.74 (82.88%) 16.26 (17.12%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 23 108 89.68 (83.04%) 18.32 (16.96%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 24 117 98.54 (84.22%) 18.46 (15.78%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 25 153 128.66 (84.09%) 24.34 (15.91%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 26 122 105.18 (86.21%) 16.82 (13.79%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 28 120 95.39 (79.49%) 24.61 (20.51%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 29 220 165.77 (75.35%) 44.23 (20.10%) 10.00 ( 4.55%) 30 232 184.92 (79.71%) 37.08 (15.98%) 10.00 ( 4.31%) 31 270 215.26 (79.73%) 44.74 (16.57%) 10.00 ( 3.70%) 32 279 219.37 (78.63%) 47.63 (17.07%) 12.00 ( 4.30%) 33 236 191.90 (81.31%) 34.10 (14.45%) 10.00 ( 4.24%) 34 294 234.13 (79.64%) 47.87 (16.28%) 12.00 ( 4.08%) 35 341 279.32 (81.91%) 52.68 (15.45%) 9.00 ( 2.64%) 36 58 39.98 (68.93%) 15.02 (25.90%) 3.00 ( 5.17%) 37 341 279.32 (81.91%) 52.68 (15.45%) 9.00 ( 2.64%) 38 120 99.31 (82.76%) 17.69 (14.74%) 3.00 ( 2.50%) 39 330 244.32 (74.04%) 71.68 (21.72%) 14.00 ( 4.24%) 40 373 299.33 (80.25%) 59.67 (16.00%) 14.00 ( 3.75%) 41 384 307.24 (80.01%) 65.76 (17.13%) 11.00 ( 2.86%) 42 341 260.69 (76.45%) 68.31 (20.03%) 12.00 ( 3.52%) 43 289 217.60 (75.29%) 58.40 (20.21%) 13.00 ( 4.50%) 44 342 267.97 (78.35%) 55.03 (16.09%) 19.00 ( 5.56%) 45 323 254.12 (78.67%) 55.88 (17.30%) 13.00 ( 4.02%) 46 309 245.00 (79.29%) 45.00 (14.56%) 19.00 ( 6.15%) 47 329 254.18 (77.26%) 54.82 (16.66%) 20.00 ( 6.08%) 48 294 220.72 (75.07%) 57.28 (19.48%) 16.00 ( 5.44%) 49 320 255.15 (79.73%) 45.85 (14.33%) 19.00 ( 5.94%) 50 363 284.58 (78.40%) 54.42 (14.99%) 24.00 ( 6.61%) 51 378 299.72 (79.29%) 55.28 (14.62%) 23.00 ( 6.08%) 52 314 242.47 (77.22%) 57.53 (18.32%) 14.00 ( 4.46%) 53 317 260.77 (82.26%) 39.23 (12.38%) 17.00 ( 5.36%) 54 294 245.32 (83.44%) 36.68 (12.48%) 12.00 ( 4.08%) 55 426 349.63 (82.07%) 56.37 (13.23%) 20.00 ( 4.69%) 56 460 394.55 (85.77%) 44.45 ( 9.66%) 21.00 ( 4.57%) 57 352 276.39 (78.52%) 50.61 (14.38%) 25.00 ( 7.10%) 58 475 390.09 (82.12%) 52.91 (11.14%) 32.00 ( 6.74%) 59 349 289.28 (82.89%) 35.72 (10.23%) 24.00 ( 6.88%) 60 485 395.22 (81.49%) 62.78 (12.94%) 27.00 ( 5.57%) 61 476 382.41 (80.34%) 54.59 (11.47%) 39.00 ( 8.19%) 62 495 428.01 (86.47%) 39.99 ( 8.08%) 27.00 ( 5.45%) 63 496 405.61 (81.78%) 60.39 (12.18%) 30.00 ( 6.05%) 64 440 360.38 (81.90%) 57.62 (13.10%) 22.00 ( 5.00%) 65 464 385.83 (83.15%) 48.17 (10.38%) 30.00 ( 6.47%) 66 569 465.54 (81.82%) 82.46 (14.49%) 21.00 ( 3.69%) 67 466 374.39 (80.34%) 68.61 (14.72%) 23.00 ( 4.94%) 68 566 452.66 (79.98%) 80.34 (14.19%) 33.00 ( 5.83%) 69 606 484.62 (79.97%) 98.38 (16.23%) 23.00 ( 3.80%) 70 676 533.99 (78.99%) 96.01 (14.20%) 46.00 ( 6.80%) 71 522 404.96 (77.58%) 83.04 (15.91%) 34.00 ( 6.51%) 72 669 523.89 (78.31%) 104.11 (15.56%) 41.00 ( 6.13%) 73 668 515.95 (77.24%) 112.05 (16.77%) 40.00 ( 5.99%) 74 633 500.89 (79.13%) 97.11 (15.34%) 35.00 ( 5.53%) Don't be fooled by the 5-digits of precision I used here - our "completely unguessable" column is almost 6% after all, and everything else is also a guess. Still, we can probably say that there did not seem to be a lot more women attending RIPE 74 than had attended in the past few years. I am also willing to guess that saying roughly 4/5 or 5/6 of the attendees were men is probably not too far off the mark. I am eager to conduct the same measurement at RIPE 75, and compare it to self-reported data to see if we can start making guesses about the error rate and extend that backwards in time. (I am also curious if the portion of women attendees changes drastically due to the unusual location of the meeting - especially since we have roughly stable portions of women attendees in the last couple of years.)
