The world of coding (as many STEM disciplines) remains white male

Actually I am not familiar with those. I will have to look into that.
Thanks.

Hi, Matthew, have you looked into general continuing education grants?
Perhaps your state library offers these for conference and workshop
I think this discussion is exactly the reason we need scholarships like
these. I'm glad that Keri and others are able to turn this into a
productive dialogue. I'll definitely be attending the pre-conference event

Lisa,
Those are terrible experiences. If that's what happens at where you work,
then you should certainly change jobs. No one deserves treatment as you
describe. I will not lower this discussion to address your personal attacks.

To respond to the question Mr. Eveland posed, I believe that cis men of Arab or
North African decent or cis men who identify as multi-racial or multi-ethnic
may be technically excluded by the specific phrasing of the diversity
scholarship, given how the definitions are used by the US census

I would like to add that the diversity scholarships have a multiplier
effect, beyond enabling some people to go to conferences. I spent about a
year deliberating whether I was cool enough to be part of code4lib, and
whether I was willing to risk that it might be a gender-hostile space

Hi all,
I can’t believe we are having this conversation again.
I have nothing to add except to say that rather than feed the troll,
you might do what I did, and turn your frustration at this thread
arising *once again* into a donation to the Ada Initiative or similar
organization. Sadly, it
I am going to reiterate my push to turn this conversation to a discussion
for funding options for everyone who wants to attend Code4Lib 2014. I
think that will be a much better use of our time.

Agreed. Someone mentioned state scholarships that many

Not to stir things up, but I've been to a few conferences this year, and
Code4lib will be the most expensive one. Not for the registry fee, but for
the hotel, flight, and other expenses. For sure, it isn't the cheapest
this year ($195.00 for one).
Not trying to start a fight.
I'll be quiet now.

Interesting discussion. May I suggest we level the playing field by moving
next year's conference to South Central Europe, say Pristina, Kosovo, or
Sarajevo, or Zagreb? We'd reach a whole new level of inclusiveness.

Let's not forget one of Code4Lib's most inclusive practices: it is usually
(always?) possible to attend every single Code4Lib presentation virtually
via live streaming video *for free.* Sure, it's not the same as being there
in person, but it's not a bad substitute if you can't travel for whatever

don't disagree that it would be awesome to have scholarships for everyone who
has some sort of economic need, and this is a conversation
For the Code4Lib 2014 Conference, 9 scholarships have been sponsored
to promote diversity.
CLIR/DLF has sponsored 5 scholarships, EBSCO has sponsored 2
scholarships, ProQuest has sponsored 1 full scholarship, and Sumana
Harihareswara has sponsored half a scholarship which was matched by
ProQuest.
