Their stupid harassment cards at defcon were annoying, but the violet blue incident is but one of several incidents of manufacturing drama for PR.  that sort of behavior is unacceptable in our community.  And as you said... ada is a small org.  2 people.  so i don't see the culture of ada ever changing.  I'd rather people invested in the gnome outreach program for women.

I personally thought the Creeper Move cards were a cheeky, funny way
to try to combat sexism. But I just want to be clear that they were
not an Ada Initiative production. It's funny that people seem to keep
wanting to give us credit for them, though!

For more on their history:

Another +1 for the OPW being a fantastic project.
