According to Merriam-Webster online, the word “curmudgeon” means “a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man.”
So I guess what we’re really looking for her is a few good, crusty old men. Or perhaps what we’re really after are Facebook skeptics.
Facebook is a great platform, but we all know that it’s not the be-all end-all. There are drawbacks, flaws and features that just don’t make sense. (A great conversation on this topic can be found here.) We want to give all of those gripes a full airing at the conference.
That’s why we’re putting together a Facebook curmudgeons panel for our get-together this December. And even though the definition of “curmudgeon” indicates maleness, we’re really going out of our way to look for women.
Women are notoriously underrepresented from the podium and in the audience at tech conferences and we really want to combat that. That’s not to say that recommendations for male panelists are unwelcome, but if you know of a great female Facebook curmudgeon, now is the time to post her name and a way to get hold of her in the comments.
