Yesterday we got informed that the #DEIB devroom at #fosdem which we pitched with @Gina@fosstodon.org @_elena@mastodon.social got rejected. The flood of positive messages we've received on mastodon over the past 24h gives me hope for an even more inclusive & diverse future of FOSS projects. FOSDEM is not mirroring the entire FOSS scene. I'm very grateful for all the support many of you are expressing. 🧡 @dentangle@chaos.social summarized it in a perfect way! The devroom *is* happening here because of YOU.

Quoting
Not to sound overdramatic but with each passing hour I’m getting more and more saddened by the rejection of the DEIB devroom that we proposed at #FOSDEM (an initiative driven by @RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org and @Gina@fosstodon.org) It would have been so powerful to have a DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) track - to promote the visibility of a different kind of folks in tech AND celebrate them at Europe’s largest open source gathering. A mini 🧵🥲
