Briefly Noted…

In our discussion here the other day about sexual harassment at conventions, I ran an e-mail from Juli Thompson and she mentioned something called The Open Source Boob Project. I received a few e-mails, all from folks who wished to not be quoted by name, telling me that she had misrepresented The Open Source Boob Project and that it was not as she described. Frankly, I think that if you start something called The Open Source Boob Project, you're kind of begging to be misunderstood, no matter what you intend. One person wrote, in part…

At the very least, in the interest of fairness, you could point out that the description of the OSBP was not quite accurate, and post a link to the blog article written by the person behind it.

I hereby point out that Ms. Thompson's explanation may not be the best one but I'm not going to post the link. You can probably find it easily via Google if you care…which you shouldn't. Actually, the founder's explanation makes it sound even stupider and more sophmoric than what Juli described.

The preceding has been the last mention you will ever see on this blog of The Open Source Boob Project.
