Fair enough - what I should have said is that we try our best to be inclusive. And I guess we actually lead the Outreach Program for Women that multiple organizations now participate in. But you are right that this really isn't relevant at all - it's about how to have the fewest bad incidents across the board and doing what we can to prevent them. <snip> Thanks for the 29c3 report. > Please do not believe that GNOME somehow is more special than other > hacker communities.

My point is really that discrimination occurs at a lot of free software conferences and I think it's a good idea to talk about it briefly at the beginning of ours to draw attention to the issue! Do you think that's a good idea? karen _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
