How to amplify diversity inside a Python community?
summary
Introduces an atomic diversity model and concrete tactics with Brazilian evidence: uses Code of Conduct revisions, PSF grants, GitHub meeting notes and transparent finances, cheap pronoun/badge stickers and a playground childcare pilot, plus hybrid live YouTube broadcasts. Reports measurable wins: a joint event draws ~200 women, a board election yields 100% PyLadies members, and a conference had mostly Black keynotes. Describes an inclusion fund like travel grants, explains how these low‑cost builds scale and which practices actually worked versus token gestures.
