Most software today works best for people like the teams that create it, and embeds biases against women, African-Americans, Latinxs, LGBTAIQs, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups &#8211; and it&#8217;s even worse at the intersections. So the industry is primed for change. This session discusses current examples, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153best practices\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that teams can immediately leverage, and emerging ideas from projects that have focused heavily on diversity. We also discuss the challenges and how to overcome them &#8211; and chart a path to the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more-->And here&#8217;s a short video I did with some more information<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/175984375\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted on the TapestryMaker blog Update, October 10: the proposal was accepted.\u00c2\u00a0 Yay!\u00c2\u00a0 And, thanks!
