I'm in the process of instituting guidelines for handling Code of

entirely by white males.


Don,

The hardest part of diversity is attempting to diversify an already 
non-diverse group. I searched for a long time for how to do this. 
Finally, after watching the Code: Debugging the Gender Gap documentary, 
I got a clue, applied it, and it worked. The secret is pro-action. You 
must go out and specifically and specially invite people individually, 
and invite them not just to participate, but to lead. I did this for the 
PyData Carolinas conference coming up this fall and it worked so well 
that the majority of people on our board of organizers are female and 
twenty percent are non-white:

I went to PyLadies and other groups and asked for their help. They 
responded with several highly qualified Python data scientists. I didn't 
just ask for volunteers. I approached them each individually, told them 
each why their qualifications are needed, and invited them to come take 
the reigns of various conference committees. You can get diversity. You 
just have to work at it and not wait for it to come to you. You must 
reach out and reach out specifically to individuals, recruiting each 
with an offer of leadership.
