The diversity and inclusion discussion is still the one I'd like to have as
the plenary panel session at the end of the first day.

The second last keynote at FOSS4G was about this topic, and while I was
exhausted and didn't take great notes, here are my dot points:

   -

   Be mindful of diversity and inclusion and unconscious bias
   -

   Negative interactions are infrequent but highly visible, with
   consequences for project activity.


Maybe we should work on this, Cameron, and we can put it forward for a vote
amongst our committee as the topic for that panel session?
