Open Source Business Women

Environment: The Open Source Business Conference (OSBC West) in downtown San Francisco.

Caveats: I counted at the evening keynote, and there's always some audience attrition at the end of a long conference day.

Count:
Men: 186
Women: 29

Women at OSBC: 13.49%

This is substantially higher than the number of women that attended the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference; I'm curious to see how it compares to the Emerging Technology conference next week.
