[llvm-dev] EuroLLVM'20: Diversity and Inclusion in Compilers and Tools workshop announcement

[David Chisnall via llvm-dev]

Hi Arnaud,

The keynote speaker at the WiCT workshop at the US DevMeeting (whose 
excellent talk still does not appear to be online) began her talk by 
asking why it was not part of the main program and was instead part of a 
segregated session.  No one in the room had a good answer and everyone I 
spoke to agreed that it was an excellent question and the feedback to 
the Foundation from the event was to incorporate these as tracks or 
keynotes in the main event in the future.

So I now have the same question: why, if we want to foster an inclusive 
community, are we segregating people who are giving talks about inclusion?
