[Diversity-talk] Diversity 2020 Article

[Clifford Snow]

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/diversity-why-open-source-needs-to-work-on-it-in-2020/
is
an interesting read. The article talks about open source, but I don't see
any significant difference between an open data project or an open source
software project.

What I took away from the article is

   - We need to be more inclusive
   - Men (especially over 45) don't see diversity as an issue
   - Younger community members see things getting better
   - We need a clear and enforced Code of Conduct to create a welcoming
   community
   - Quotas are not the answer

Just for the record, I'm a while male over (way over) 45.

Happy New Year,
Clifford
