I didn¹t see the people who caused the ruckus, but I did see a picture
later.
I assume that they were models hired to attract prurient engineers, and not
actually technically clueful on whatever was being demonstrated? That
would
certainly be inappropriate, not to mention in poor taste, and suggests
they think both that only men can be engineers, and that men are persuaded
by female models. Ugh.

However, I would also not want a policy prohibiting engineers from wearing
whatever we want. If you want to sponsor Bits-n-Bites and your lead
developer likes wearing heels, I have no problem with that. If I want to
wear a close-fitting dress to the next Bits-n-Bites, I hope that would be
allowed.
