Well, there are things we can do about that, certainly. Maybe instead of just showing current devs we can show toon figures like these that are users, and testers as well. That expands the community beyond the devs, and in the long-term may encourage more women and racial diversity to come develop the free software with us as well (though, it's my thinking that gender is the bigger issue at this point, from my university Computer Science courses).

Thoughts?

Thanks CR,

These are great, I'm going to save them and hopefully use them in the
future. The problem for me is that I've drawn people going to LGM, and
our attendees are share many such qualities.

The lesson for us is that we lack divesity in the inkscape community
overall (like a lot of foss projects we should work on that). Which I
was sad to think about when I was doing the art. :-/

Martin,
