>Mariatta Wijaya gave a very personal talk that described the diversity problem while also providing some concrete action items that the project and individuals could take to help make Python more welcoming to minorities.
>Wijaya started out by saying that she had been asked to give this talk; it is not something she would necessarily choose on her own because the topic is a trigger for her. She said she would try to control her emotions but that the presentation might be uncomfortable for attendees.

>She had a list of facts about Python development that she saidshouldmake people uncomfortable. From February 2017 to April 2018, there were 848 contributors to Python on GitHub—of those, less than ten were women. That is not a percentage, but a raw number. It took a month after the switch to GitHub before a woman contributed.
>In the last 12 months of posts to the python-dev mailing list, there are less than five women actively participating.
> Of the 168 committers for Python, only two are women. Both of those women were added in 2017. "This is wrong", Wijaya said. The project should not accept this situation.

>She had some requests for the attendees as well. Please acknowledge that the lack of diversity is a real problem, she said. In addition, it is not her problem, it is a problem for everyone in the Python community. Those who cannot see the problem are actually part of the problem.
>Attendees should not expect her to solve the problem for them, or to repeatedly explain it. There are resources available to educate everyone about the problem. "Don't ever tell me you don't see a problem", she admonished.

>She listed some educational resources, including using Google ("really!") with keywords like "diversity in tech" or "open source diversity". She also suggested viewing the documentary CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. In addition, follow women and people of color on Twitter, she said, as well as @betterallies. The project could also get professional advice. Two people that she knows who may be able to help are Sage Sharpand Ashe Dryden. Their jobs are to help organizations do better at diversity.
>She noted that Stinner had said people are shy, but she had a somewhat different take. Public spaces are not always seen as safe spaces for minorities. So, she suggested that Python developers be available privately.

> Don't expect minorities to post there and instead explicitly provide office hours or other ways for those folks to get their questions answered.
>Give minorities opportunities to contribute, she said; pay attention when they are creating pull requests and review them. Actively seek out minorities and invite them to participate.

>Her last piece of advice was to "be a minority". She suggested attending a PyLadiesevent alone to just listen.
>Stinner wondered if a new mailing list to discuss diversity topics would be useful; there was one earlier, but it closed down due to lack of traffic.
LMAO
>Heimes said that when developers are asked to speak at conferences they should ask if there is a code of conduct and diversity program.

Is this a cringe thread?

Now that you are in, yes.

Is this the new incel thread...?... *Starts sweating profusely* *sips profuse sweat*
