Well, I would have gone if I hadn’t been taken up with something else, although I can see great looking men also in Umbria. Tell them that if they’ll strip we likely will come.
It is funny that they don’t get that the prevailing attitude AND the low pay many women get might keep them away!
Meantime, I have a blog called Men, http://www.allkindsofmen.blogspot.com that appreciates men, maybe objectifies them a teensy bit, and I do find that in starting with the pretty ones, most are Italian.

I was looking all day for Lele to introduce me, but I was unlucky. Next time I’ll try not to be so shy.
Ciao

Wow!
I’m the most figo..be sure.
Probably I’m the youngest and that one that has the baddest english!
You wrote an excellent cronichle of the day and you are a really intresting woman.
When you said about the english investor, you mobilized more than 10 men!
The idea of the Geek woman Camp is really good, but I imagine that I must remain at home!
Can I see the video please?!
See you soon

I think that Mystery man n.1 is Andrea Cuius, the guy who presented “Ptumpa.com” project.
On saturday I was there too.

Marco, il nome del tuo blog combacia perfettamente con quel tuo sguardo sospettoso nella foto!
Grazie a tutti per aver “giocato”.
I forgot to say in the original post: all of the guys (and gals) were incredibly nice and very interesting, and I look forward to seeing everybody again soon!

Ciao, I loved the post.
I was sitting on the stairs outside when you were talking to Robin Good, noticed your eye glasses (very cool…), but never got a chance to meet you.
Ok, hopefully that will be next time, ciao

I hope that your post will be a starter for building something like “blogher” in Italy..stimulate the female partecipation, finding more viewpoints and female voices can be one of next barcamp themes.
Your words at the end of Vittorio Pasteris’s talk seemed to point to a lack of comunication to foreign bloggers in Italy. Another point for future discussions.
Trying to open our barcamps to foreign bloggers and hosts will be an hard match but, like said Lele Dainesi, we need to open to the outside and trying to partecipate to other barcamps outside italy as well.
See you, next time.
Cristian

eheheh so funny!
I saw you around at RomeCamp and now I’ve found your nice blog…
p.s. anyway I’m the (blurry) Mistery Man M (wow 3M man)

Deirdré, thumbs up to your post which is probably the most brilliant of the whole bunch out there (including mine in the bunch), I daresay.
Seems like I’ve been one of the few lucky ones who got the chance for a brief and impromptu chit chat with you: didn’t know you were such a celebrity around here!
Anyway it was very nice for me to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again (and thanks again for sending me the picture!).
Cheers,
Diego

(Damn! I need to install that threaded comments widget…)
In order:
Andreas - you didn’t need to wait for an introduction!
Antonio - men are allowed at Girl Geek dinners, but they have to come with a woman - see the rules on http://londongirlgeekdinner.pbwiki.com/
Smeerch - if I can get a photo of you, I’ll add it to the page - got one?
Samuele - lovely photos of the camera woman, but don’t betray her trust by publishing the one she asked you not to. Otherwise every woman who ever sees you at an event in future will work hard to get a really bad picture of you to post on Flickr. ; )
Sean - next time, you can come along and choose in person!
Palmasco - I noticed you because you remind me of an actor, but I’m not sure which one. My glasses are from Grotesque frames (Austrian company, but I bought them in Milan). I wear glasses every waking minute of my life, so it’s one of the few fashion items I spend a lot of money on.
Cristian - good idea. Several of us women who were there are keenly interested in meeting more of Italy’s geek women, so we’re working on it.
Mr. Diego - Thanks! I didn’t know I was a celebrity, either. Mostly I just talk a lot.

ps Cristian - as for reaching the foreign bloggers, that’s not hard. Some are listed here: http://www.beginningwithi.com/italy/living/reflections.html
and we all hang out here:

Deirdré, great post, big fun. So sorry I did not introduce myself. Of course next time I’ll do my best to be shot by you ;-D
cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it, but we have met before, at least briefly, at vlogEurope.
