Hi Lætitia and Ilaria / All,

Sounds like a great idea.
I think maybe it would be even more impactful to do an online survey to see
how *actually* diverse we are in numbers?

You might have planned this anyway, but here just an idea. You could do a
few pools through the Postgres Women Twitter handle for example to ask the
community questions:
1. which sex you relate to? (you'll need to think about how to phrase it
correctly);
2. where where you born?;
3. where do you live?
4. would you consider yourself having a disability?
...and other diversity questions)
and then visualise it in your presentation alongside statistics about IT
community as a whole (or whatever stats on IT community you will be able to
find.
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/5-eye-opening-statistics-about-minorities-in-tech/
might
be useful as a starting point.) I think this will help to see whether
PostgreSQL community is reflective of a broader IT groups etc.
Of course, it would only be a sample and not everyone is on Twitter etc.
However, that will be a relatively painless way to get good number of
responses and get an idea what we are dealing with. 8)

Would be glad to hear what you think.
I'll be in Milano btw.

Valeria
