So how do we become more "inclusive"?
From the quoted text above your comment:
"I think starting at "Free/Libre/Open Source" would at least be a step forward. Talking to presenters and staff members, encouraging use of that term in place of anything more specific, would benefit *everyone*, and not just any one community."
Just to let you know, if your car is less then 30 years old almost every aspect of the the engine, transmission, Anti-lock brakes, and airbags are controlled by software.
Thank you, and Russell, for this information. As I don't expect SCaLE to be perfect, I don't expect myself to be so, at least not immediately. Hopefully one day, I will be financially able to purchase another car that includes free software--or perhaps switch to a bicycle :)
