One of my revelation from today's #leancampfrm session on #diversity was this:
it's my choice which events I support. I can change that!

If I keep seeing too many white dudes, maybe I should go to events, where they
are not the majority. E.g. @WTM_Frankfurt
@techettes_ffm.
And by "going" I also mean, facilitating, organizing. Did you know that I
translated a press release for #bcrm16 to promote it to refugees?
But none showed up. So the question is, what can we do as event organizers to be
more appealing to minorities.
Maybe it's our network that greatly influences who learns about the events and
communities we are part of.
And we can oy create connections between different networks if we act as a
bridge.
Just opening a port and waiting for a connection is not enough. (to stay in the
network metaphor)
