Re: D&I consultant/speaker

Hi Andrew - I can't access the link you shared, it seems to be the schedule
of the event and maybe only you have access?

I looked her up [1] and found her website, definitely worth reaching out. I
want to add that while she focuses on discussions about race, she seems to
have frameworks that might apply to larger D&I discussions.

Keep me posted and add me to the discussion please.

Sure, Gris started a discussion ticket here:

That board is still mailing to comdev so would be good to fix before we
keep spamming them: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DI-8

I don't have admin privs on that board so someone who does should point it
