    @fosdem
    These stats don't even mention other intersectionalities based on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ableness, etc, which are equally impactful.

    The #FOSS ecosystem might be missing out on incredibly talented contributors. Which were exactly the type of people we wanted to attract to #FOSDEM27.

    And btw, I do have to note that I consider 99% of the white men that I usually work with to be well intended allies. I'm sure that many of #FOSDEM 's visitors would have proudly stuck our cool 'not a tech bro' stickers to their laptops. ❤️

    Anywho, it is what it is. Lets see if we can organize something adjacent to #FOSDEM or with the Community devroom.

    (I didn't really connect my years as a junior dev to the importance of an inclusive FOSS ecosystem and stats supporting it, but I'm a little deflated tbh)

    @Gina FWIW, your proposed track would have been a strong motivator for me to try to make space for fosdem in my already busy travel schedule. -- a white man.

    @Gina Thank you for this very informational (alhtough quite disappointing) thread!

    I do hope the devroom rejection won't stop you from from submitting a proposal for the main track (and maybe even a stand?), I'm quite optimistic about such a talk being accepted AND able to fill in Jansson :)

    @Gina Will you be attending #40c3 ?

    I am rather certain your stickers would be a banger.

    If you don't may I ask if you would be open to sharing them?

    @Gina

    Do these well intended allies stand up for you in the moment you're asked to get coffee or whatever, or do they just express how sorry they are for what you deal with, after the fact?

    @Gina techbro is tech+browith bro being the abbreviation of "brother" like in

    > A frat boy or someone who espouses the fraternity bro culture

    So an opposite culture could be a "sister" culture of tech. So #techsis is the tech culture opposed to techbro

    @lutindiscret Fair, but tech bro has some associations that I don't necessarily see on the opposite side, hence why I asked. But I see your point :)

    @Gina I wanna see if I can find some time to set up a landing page for a “FOSDEM Pledge” that speakers and rooms can take to make up for the miss. A speaker could devote a few minutes of their talk to a DEI topic, a room could dedicate a talk slot or two to a DEI talk, etc.

    A bonus here would be that folks who need to hear about this have no chance but to do so :)

    @Gina deep breath in. Deep breath out Gina.

    The global anti DEIB backlash exists because it was making a difference.

    Look at the great things your work has made possible. You yourself are testament to why it’s so important. You are a champion.

    But even champions need to rest. So rest. And re-inflate when you’re ready.

    @Gina I have always been little disappointed that the Community devroom is kind of hidden away.

    I have been fortunate to go to FOSDEM a few times and have been really impressed by how that room has grown in terms of the size of audience it attracts with some really amazing and generally positive sessions.

    @Gina @fosdem Can you clarify the source of that stat? The linked paper seems to say that women's PRs are accepted at a *higher* rate before and after controlling for insider status.

    Open source effects Perhaps our GitHub data are not representative of the open source community; while all projects we analyzed were public, not all of them are licensed as open source. Nonetheless, if we restrict our analysis to just projects that are explicitly licensed as open source, women continue to have a higher acceptance rate (χ2(df = 1,n = 1,424,127) = 347,p < .001) Insider effects Perhaps women’s high acceptance rate is because they are already well known in the projects they make pull requests in. Pull requests can be made by anyone, including both insiders (explicitly authorized owners and collaborators) and outsiders (other GitHub users). If we exclude insiders from our analysis, the women’s acceptance rate (62.1% [61.65%,62.53%]) continues to be significantly higher than men’s (60.7% [60.65%,60.82%]) (χ2(df = 1,n = 1,372,834) = 35,p < .001).
