I need to do more to make the online events I attend be less of a white space.
Having removed a big financial barrier (online events are free or cost a
fraction of what e.g. a @SoCraTes_Conf
ticket costs), they haven't become more accessible to people that don't look
like me.

We can now easily accommodate people from different countries around the same
time zone, but I see a lot of familiar faces or people who are connected to the
community already.
This makes me uncomfortable aware of the bubble I am in, and how hard it is to
grow it.

I wonder what would have more impact: attending other communities' events to
build new connections (show up), or focus on inviting people I haven't met to an
event they have not attended, yet (outreach)?
