How do we continue to remind people of inclusive language use? about dei-wg

[exoticDFT]

Notes from 02/14/24:

• Asking the community about the use of bots to monitor?
• Focus on repairing relationships
• ‘The DEI conference committee could help or organize something around: “Having the tough conversations” “language is important” “navigating conflict and resistance”’
• Something to note that came out of the COC reviews
  • "A statement during a US-RSE Zoom call was reported as an example of gendered language. It was determined that this particular language was not a violation of the Code of Conduct as it was not derogatory or exclusionary, but that further communication and discussion should be had about gendered and other biased language in US-RSE spaces."
• That was the Out In Tech bot I think. that "pokes" people to use other words/language
