Hello SCaLE planners,
I would like to suggest attendees have a way to share their social contact comfort level.
Levels of comfort can include: I welcome: - hugs - handshakes - waves - my space
Ideas of how attendees can indicate their comfort level include: - colored lanyards - badge stickers
The desired outcomes include lowering social anxiety and increasing comfortability. Many members of the Linux and open-source community struggle to navigate social situations. Covid-19 has exacerbated this issue, as social norms are being redefined.
Thanks for consideration of this idea,
Carlos Meza
