Unfortunately, we are no longer able to offer the Careers Panel at this month's SLUG meeting. In its place we will have the following:
** Melissa Draper - From Equality to Diversity: The Road Less Taken ** This paper describes how due to the nature of participation, the Open Source community can excel in diversity, whilst at the same time fall short for reasons of active and passive discrimination. Using gender imbalance as an example, aspects of diversity failures such as identifying causes, reparative actions and the reasons for doing so are discussed. This is the same talk as was delivered at CLUG in June and at OSDC earlier this week.
