"Women create alternate tech conference, protesting snub at big security confab":
After a furor over the lack of women in the lineup at one of the world's largest computer security conferences, a group of women and their allies has organized an alternate conference to run at the same time and in the same city.
The alternate conference is dubbed "Our Security Advocates Conference," or OURSA, a not-so-subtle dig at RSA. It will be held on April 17 at the San Francisco offices of computer security company Cloudflare, about a mile from the Moscone conference center where RSA is being held.
