Hi Arnaud,

The keynote speaker at the WiCT workshop at the US DevMeeting (whose excellent talk still does not appear to be online) began her talk by asking why it was not part of the main program and was instead part of a segregated session. No one in the room had a good answer and everyone I spoke to agreed that it was an excellent question and the feedback to the Foundation from the event was to incorporate these as tracks or keynotes in the main event in the future.

So I now have the same question: why, if we want to foster an inclusive community, are we segregating people who are giving talks about inclusion?

Hi All,

It's my pleasure to announce the Diversity and Inclusion in Compilers and Tools workshop that will be held on the afternoon of April 5th, at the same venue as the EuroLLVM'20. This event features speakers and discussion aiming to increase diversity and inclusion within the LLVM community, attendee's workplace or university, and within the field of compilers and tools. It is open to anyone who is interested in these efforts. Our featured speaker will be Adelina Chalmers, also known as the Geek Whisperer, and she will be giving a talk entitled /"Don’t Let Fear of Feedback Stop your Contributions: How to Respond to Negative Feedback"/. * * More information about the workshop and registration can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eurollvm-2020-diversity-inclusion-workshop-tickets-94343837959 * * Hope to see you there ! -- Arnaud
