>Whatever she says on her own personal twitter feed is wholly unrelated to what happens at a professional event.
Except: A) She posted the picture in question on that twitter feed and B) She identifies herself as affiliated with her (former) employer at the top of that feed/in her profile. To me, those make her "personal" feed not so personal and wholly germane to this conversation.

It's not strictly her personal account since it's tied to her LinkedIn, her professional website, posted before/after she gives professional talks at conferences, etc.
None of her talks, papers, blog posts, etc., practically none of them are about engineering.
The OP was asking for examples on things she's posted or said that were unprofessional. Her Twitter account being personal or not is immaterial to the fact that she's constantly posting and retweeting unprofessional things that have no room in a professional setting.
It's not strictly her personal account when it's posted on LinkedIn, her professional website, before and after her professional talks, etc.
Besides that fact, none of her talks, papers, blog posts, etc., practically none of them are about engineering.
And ON TOP of all that, the OP was asking for examples of things she's said or done that were unprofessional. Her Twitter account being personal or not is immaterial to the fact that she's posted and retweeted ridiculously unprofessional things.
Can people please stop bringing up that tweet? It has absolutely nothing to do with what happened at PyCon. Whatever she says on her own personal twitter feed is wholly unrelated to what happens at a professional event. Especially since the only people who see her tweet are people that have explicitly chosen to do so (either by following her or by following someone's link to it). What is acceptable in an opt-in scenario is wildly different than what is acceptable when unwilling bystanders are listening.
Agreed. And was she not at the event in an official capacity?
If someone's job is to be a public figure or spokesperson for a given company then everything they do publicly online is relevant (I'm a huge advocate of using pseudonyms and anonymous communication online over personally identifiable communication.)
No, she's being to to speak up AND handle it behind the scenes. At what point in this conversation did you forget the fact that an identifiable picture was posted publicly to her 9000 followers?
That makes absolutely zero sense, though. She's also not a twitter personality. She's a full-blown engineer with a very popular Youtube channel and following and has done these sorts of things quite often.
> I talked to her about this exact thing and offered to use her first name only. She wanted to use her full name and was aware it would show up in google.
If the tweets were about hard core partying, getting drunk, having threesomes, showing off with sports cars....sure, I agree with you, that habing a private life should be accepted and celebrated. But these were work related tweets that show her unprofessional behaviour that will go with her to the next place.
I gave a single example, please see her entire twitter feed. She says this over and over in multiple ways and it's quite clear what she is saying and whom she includes.
Beyond that, what I saw her write in internal groups at Google was simple not acceptable within reasonable bounds.
