Keynote: Building Inclusive Communities
summary
Tech workforce numbers shock: about 26% of software engineers are women, black women hover near 3%, open source shows ~95% male contributors, and 60% of women report unwanted sexual advances. Concrete fixes include education, unconscious bias workshops, enforced codes of conduct, accessibility statements, mentoring, targeted diversity tickets, and donations to groups like Women Who Code or Black Girls Code. Organizers run enforcement mechanisms, events measure gender and racial ratios, and amplifiers deliberately follow and promote underrepresented voices.
