Replying to

@_elena@mastodon.social I thought people attended the Free Open Source Developers European Meeting because of their interest in free and open source software, not based on whether or not there is a devroom that represents their specific identity... #FOSDEM27 @evan@cosocial.ca @ton@m.tzyl.eu

I'm actually a bit upset about this. 🙁 @RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org , @_elena@mastodon.social and I, and a whole coalition of open source orgs were hoping to organize a track at #FOSDEM27 about Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Belonging (DEIB) in #FOSS. It got rejected.

Attached: 1 image As I reflected on what I experienced at #FOSDEM, the idea of organizing a devroom dedicated to #diversity was born. Together with @Gina @_elena@mastodon.social 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 tho
