Keynote – Rose Wiegley
summary
History shows programmer demographics and safety matter: 30% of programmers are women, 6.6% identify as LGBT, and only 8.1% Hispanic 4.6% Black 0.3% Indigenous. Leadership is specific: build something useful — a lightweight "hack days helper" that becomes official — or use practical tools like a five‑step mini proposal to get permission, rotate glue work, add inclusive meeting rules, write a brag document, and measure impact (e.g. an internal diagnostics page that saves hours in 1–2 days of work).
