Together with @Gina @_elena we submitted the proposal to organise a #DEI devroom at #FOSDEM27. It got rejected.


Every year we leave #FOSDEM inspired by the people we meet & the passion for #opensource. And every year we also find ourselves thinking about how much greater it could be if more people with different perspectives were part of those conversations.

@RosannaSibora @Gina @_elena oh, non, that's a shame. I would love to participate!

@btel @Gina @_elena thanks for your kind words, Bartosz!
🧡 it makes me also very sad to see this rejection for the topics of #diversity at #FOSDEM. I will try again next year. Never give up!

@RosannaSibora @Gina @_elena great ! Please keep me informed. If there is any kind of an informal gathering, I will be also happy to attend (more to learn than to contribute, I am afraid).

@btel @Gina @_elena Our goal was to deliver talks inspiring everyone who feels underrepresented in #FOSS to take up space. We wanted to create a positive and inclusive track, with lots of humor, and with moments to reflect on how we can all become better allies. We wanted to discuss community, leadership, and representation in the #FOSS ecosystem. Of course we wanted to reflect on how to make future #FOSDEM events more diverse and welcoming for all. #dei

@RosannaSibora and @_elena this is such a shame. I've been going to #FOSDEM for about 6 years now and every year it's a sea of white men.
This track could have been an opportunity to include some fresh perspectives and talk about diversity in #FOSS.
We had an awesome group of organizers coming from @nextcloud , @openproject , @fdroidorg , Red Hat, @SUSE , @drupal , @linuxfoundation EU, and OSPO's.
We were so excited that we were already designing stickers and organizing funds for speakers

️@Gina @RosannaSibora @_elena that would have been such a meaningful and needed devroom. We really need to continue working on diversity and that would have been a great way to do so.

️@Gina @_elena @nextcloud @fdroidorg @SUSE @drupal @linuxfoundation I’m curious which #foss conference will be open and courageous to create a space for diversity in #OpenSource…

@RosannaSibora That's disappointing. I've never been since it's on the other side of the planet, but I'm guessing it's in dire need of some diversification.
