40 Minute Presentation - In Person Community Building and Diversity

Description

We use GNOME spaces all the time to communicate with users, contributors, and other folks. While it may feel like you are talking over a kitchen table, our spaces are a public forum that welcomes so many more people than can fit in your house. Lacking visual and tonal cues, online conversations can easily be misread by others who may not see the same context as you. In this talk, we will discuss how some of these problems can occur, and ways we can all adopt to keep conversations in our online spaces friendly and welcoming.
