Kudos to everyone who is working on this!
In the registration process I noticed the questions about accessibility
needs and dietary restrictions. I also appreciate the work that was done
to figure out childcare. I'm super excited about the program and also
noticed that both keynotes are women and more than half the speakers are
women.
Our community isn't perfect, but I really appreciate the work that
everyone is doing to identify barriers and figure out how to make
improvements.
I love learning with you folks.
