How to Practice Inclusion and Benefit Django
summary
Claim: inclusion increases the pool of contributors by fixing culture not just headcount, backed by the concrete finding that a community optimized for heterosexual white men pulls from roughly 30% of the population. Practical tools: apply the Zen of Python—Errors should never pass silently—set clear anonymous feedback channels, Check your assumptions, create a personal privilege matrix and practice privilege arbitrage. Built examples: local meetups, Girls Coding Club, and spin‑up a new group when leadership is toxic; measure success by returning contributors, not just RSVPs.
