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.

I've been going to 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 .

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 โ˜น๏ธ

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 ecosystem. Of course we wanted to reflect on how to make future events more diverse and welcoming for all.
