I was looking over the list of registrants for WordCamp Dallas a few days ago, and confirmed what I’d previously expressed only as a hunch: There are quite a few women attending.

Okay, maybe it’s sexist of me to notice, but computers and technology tend to attract more males than females, so I smiled inwardly when I realized the event wasn’t going to be a total boy’s club.

Here’s the breakdown, of the 120 people currently registered, 29 (24%) of them are female:

After that, I started messing around with the t-shirt choices:

I bet I know what you’re thinking. You’re noticing that nearly 59% of all attendees wear shirts bigger than ‘Large’. (I’m one of them, unfortunately.)

Then, maybe you wonder what the women… er… look like…

Whew! It’s mostly the guys who need to eat more salads.

The only thing left to plot (with the information provided) is how long they intend to stay:

So, 93% intend to come both days. That brings a smile to my face.
