On a lighter tone, here are some lessons I've learnt at !!con (a conference by Recurse Center aka Hacker School alumni): http://p.migdal.pl/2017/08/14/bangbangcon.html

tl;dr: you can get great inclusivity primarily by being welcoming, accommodating for needs (in an open-ended way, not restricting it to a few axes) and, crucially, by not shaming or bulling otherwise good-willed transgressors

Sure, not all of these things may scale, or be copy-pastable to workplace environment.



Thanks for posting this. It was a really interesting read, and I think it's an under valued point in these discussions that there are lots of small things we could do better that add up in a big way.
