Julia Gender Inclusive is an initiative dedicated to strengthening gender diversity and inclusion within the Julia community. We are a group of people whose gender is underrepresented in the community and aim to provide a supportive space for all gender minorities in the Julia community. Over the last year, we have worked toward increasing participation in our community by creating and organizing more virtual events, such as regular coffee meetings and hackathons. In this talk, we will share our recent outcomes, lessons learned, and concrete ways the broader Julia community can support and engage with our efforts.
The objective of our organization is to create space for discussion and community building among people who feel their gender is underrepresented within the Julia community, as well as allies who want to support us. We aim to create a safe and fruitful discussion about gender diversity, increase awareness of our current initiatives, receive input on new actions we can take as Julia Gender Inclusive, and reach out to others who want to get involved.
Julia Gender Inclusive is an organization that promotes discussions and spaces for equity and inclusion in the community.
