Hi Guix, Now that the results are out, I just wanted to thank Liliana for starting this GCD, and everyone else who contributed to the effort and supported/accepted.
I would have been too intimidated to broach such a controversial topic; and even if I could get over that fear, the amount of effort needed to write a GCD and then spend the next few weeks reading and responding to everyone's comments was clearly enormous. I believe that this collective effort couldn't have been motivated by anything other than a genuine love for the community, and a desire to be as welcoming as possible to people from diverse backgrounds. And looking at the proportion of people who supported/accepted, I feel reassured that I've chosen a good project and community to put my spare time and energy into. That feeling is rare to come by these days, so once again - thank you.
