#FOSDEM will not have a DEIB room 😔 True to #DIY #OpenSource spirit we will fix this ourselves.
Support @Gina@fosstodon.org @elena@aseachange.com @RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org initial proposal for a DEIB room with the #FOSDEMPledge @janl@narrativ.es proposes:
Take a min or 2 to discuss the need for diversity, equity, inclusivism & belonging (DEIB) in your talk or have a talk on this topic in the room you organise.
For me #FLOSS is about people. Let's make sure everyone feels welcome & enable their participation in the FLOSS ecosystem. ✊
Quoting
The FOSDEM organising team has rejected a proposal for a DEI room at FOSDEM 2027.
I am proposing the FOSDEM Pledge to make up for it.
Will you take the pledge?
