RE: https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem/117583049310983072 Congratulations to all the accepted stands for #FOSDEM27 ! I see there will be a "Women of Open Source" stand which sounds amazing. After having our DEIB (Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging) devroom rejected, it feels good to see something acknowledging the work and contributions of women in open source. I'll make sure to stop by the stand when I'm there! If you know who's behind it, please let me know, I'd love to contact them. Edit / update: got my answer from @samvie@chaos.social thank you! 🙏 ❤️

Replying to

@_elena@mastodon.social I thought people attended the Free Open Source Developers European Meeting because of their interest in free and open source software, not based on whether or not there is a devroom that represents their specific identity... #FOSDEM27 @evan@cosocial.ca @ton@m.tzyl.eu

I'm actually a bit upset about this. 🙁 @RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org , @_elena@mastodon.social and I, and a whole coalition of open source orgs were hoping to organize a track at #FOSDEM27 about Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Belonging (DEIB) in #FOSS. It got rejected.

Attached: 1 image As I reflected on what I experienced at #FOSDEM, the idea of organizing a devroom dedicated to #diversity was born. Together with @Gina @_elena@mastodon.social we submitted the proposal to organise a #DEI devroom at #FOSDEM27. It got rejected. 😢💔 Every year we leave #FOSDEM inspired by the people we meet & the passion for #opensource. And every year we also find ourselves thinking about how much greater it could be if more people with different perspectives were part of tho
