[Osmf-talk] Reaching out and diversity (Was: Re: AGM and board elections)

[Mikel Maron]

Hi all

I've really been debating whether or not to say anything here on this thread. 
Then Kathleen said https://twitter.com/KathleenLD/status/515464880535920640

Well I consider myself an ally.

That's all. Dudes, we're being told there's a problem. I've witnessed it and I believe it. It's larger than gender, but that's a key part of it.

Read the links Kate provided, and ponder. Think about how we can improve our community. A better tone of discussion will be good for everyone. A more inclusive community will make OSM a better map.

Thanks
Mikel
