I wanted to reach out as the creator of this form and provide some additional context. The perspective of needing to listen right now, rather than share, is indeed important; however, the point of collecting responses for this questionnaire is to be aware of ALL perspectives and viewpoints. Every person's ideas are valuable and each contribution is helping us to create the foundation for our Diversity committee, and hopefully provide aid and resources to many others. We simply cannot create the basis for real change based off the opinions of those currently on the Committee due to the limited number of members we have; it is important we collect input from all people in open source communities (even those outside of them!) in order to ensure we're creating balanced and well intentioned, well built foundations. Please, if you have any thoughts on any of the questions within the form, take a moment to share. It is not a requirement to fill out all of the questions, only as many as you feel called to respond to. If you know others that would have valuable insights, please forward the questionnaire to them or let the Diversity Committee know who would be worth reaching out to (individuals, communities, etc) through the last questions on the form. It's time for us on the Diversity Committee to listen. Please help give us something to listen to. :-) Have a wonderful week, and thank you for your consideration! --- *From: *L=C3=A6titia Avrot *Subject: **Re: PgUS Diversity Initiatives Questionnaire* *Date: *August 5, 2020 at 12:33:08 AM PDT *To: *Stacey Haysler *Cc: *pgsql-women@lists.postgresql.org Hi Stacey, Thank you for this form.
