There was also a side discussion about whether forming “women only” groups was as effective as trying to change existing meetup communities. Me: “Why not both? Some people - especially when starting out - need that safe space to build their confidence. But existing communities also need to invite women organisers and consider changing how they do things to be more inclusive.” Mentioned Sydney’s Men Championing Change group as dudes who are trying to do the work. #AWSCommunityDayDACH

@hoegertn Found the hashtags #AWSCommunityDay #AWSCommunityDayDACH on LinkedIn. Seems like the AWS community in Germany is not that active on Mastodon. 😧
