Last week I got to celebrate the wedding of my brother Perez (aka RZA aka Gonzo) real name Carmelo. We snuck down to the Philly area and met his beautiful new wife Eboni and her two wonderful children. Perez is one of the best people I have ever met in the world. I am known to be hyperbolic but this is truth of the capital T. The do not come better than Pere
Two months of Phish radio on Sirius ain't a bad way to start summer. Tour would be better but at least I can get my jam on while cooking dinner for the kids.
Agree. We made diversity and inclusion major goals of #IndieWeb. The Code of Conduct enforcement is talen seriously. We had a 60/40 split on keynote speakers so this has gotten better with work to do. We have a travel fund for underrepresented folks.
It's not just language or the words not being inclusive...I believe it to be a fundamental difference in how engendered practices have lead to diversity of approaches in open source like #IndieWeb. People, of all cloths, like building community or teaching. Not just plumbing
Let's stress having a website is fun while trying to reduce the stress of having #IndieWeb building blocks. Why I have stopped using phrases like "self-dogfooding" Using what you build is wildly successful model
But I think you are wrong on biggest blockers. It isn't a messaging or reach problem alone. Have to explicitly design for diversity and inclusion as a first principle. We need to think about child care, the high cost of time and tinkering,most importantly listen
You know I also believe the Generations model had unintended consequences, when your narrative is, "ohh this is for gen 1 folks, not gen2, and definitely not a generation 4 person"....that is exclusionary by nature, turns people away before they even enter the room
