Giving can bring with it a sense of satisfaction. That is what one
"gets" from many volunteer activities, including, at least for some
people, open source. That sense of satisfaction can be lost if
contributions are not accepted or not valued.

Since my question was left unanswered, I would like to bring it up again.
Since D&I now seems to get extended with "Equity", I would like to get
answered what is "Equity" in the scope of the ASF?
As I am reading up on the subject, it always comes back to a "GET" for a
group or an individual. The fence analogy is touted, so that everyone get
to see (mind you the problem with the paying vs non-paying viewers) is
about "get an opportunity to see", receiving something.
I have always viewed the ASF as a place to "GIVE". I have an opportunity to
"give contributions" to others, not a matter of what I "GET", which is
largely a function of how I amalgamize contributions of others to my own
life and career.
What am I missing? What is the "Outcome" for a person or a group of people,
that the "Equity" argument is trying to address, in the ASF context?
Thanks
