Hi Leo, I am not trying to say that it doesn't matter and in fact it does matter to me personally as I don't have an employer who can pay for me to go to RIPE meetings. My point was more that I personally feel like that it shouldn't factor in more heavily than more outright hostility against LGBTQ+ people and such. -Cynthia On Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 6:09 PM Leo Vegoda <leo at vegoda.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 8:34 AM Cynthia Revström <me at cynthia.re> wrote: > > > Also given how I think a lot of people are paid by their employers to attend and how any location is likely going to be semi-expensive for people who don't live there, I feel like the economic parts should have much less weight than the other factors. > > Please do not discount the impact of pricing on diversity. > > Travel costs are managed in most kinds of organizations.
