Hi,
This subject has been discussed at the two hackfests of 2016 and 2017. The fact that we want to strive for a more inclusive and diverse community is not up for debate.
This is not just about code, but about development: we need to keep an open and welcoming environment to attract new contributors, and diversity helps a lot to build a healthy community.
This discussion is not about *whether* but *how* to build a more diverse/inclusive community. I mention this program for comments because it was mentioned at the summit, but if you know of similar initiatives, please share them.
