So there's\Na few reasons why you might want to. Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.88,0:07:45.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a few reasons that we want to hold\Nthis workshop for underrepresented groups Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.00,0:07:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,today. First of all, oh, okay, I will add\Nthat slide back in. I just put number one Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.46,0:08:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a disproportionately large number of\Nspeakers at WordPress meetups and Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.24,0:08:04.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wordcamps, and tech events in general,\Nlook alike and come from the same Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.26,0:08:08.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,background. That means that the speakers\Ndo not represent everyone sitting in the Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.04,0:08:12.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,audience. Underrepresented groups they may\Ntherefore feel like they don't belong Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.87,0:08:16.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there. But there are many with a wide\Nrange of knowledge to share and everyone Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.83,0:08:20.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can feel included. WordPress is amazing in\Nthat it is open source. So all kinds of Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.71,0:08:26.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people use it. And we want a more fair\Nrepresentation of users and the people Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.00,0:08:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are speaking. One of the ways in\Nwhich WordPress is being shaped by is by Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.61,0:08:36.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the people who speak about it publicly.\NMany folks from underrepresented groups by Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.78,0:08:40.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nature of having had different life\Nexperiences would approach problems Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.47,0:08:44.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,differently and just tell the developers\Npoint of view is different from a user's Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.31,0:08:48.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,point of view, so are our viewpoints.\NFolks from underrepresented groups have Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.81,0:08:52.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,experiences that aren't necessarily being\Nshared right now. By bringing in more Dialogue: 0,0:08:54.85,0:08:57.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,diversity to the people at the podium,\Nthere's a better chance of bringing in Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.51,0:09:01.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,folks who are straddling different roles,\Nand thus creating unique things with Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.41,0:09:05.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unique perspectives. Power users who are\Nusing it in interesting ways, front end Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.57,0:09:10.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,developers and business people who use\Nplugins to make specific kinds of sites, Dialogue: 0,0:09:11.83,0:09:14.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,typographers who use WordPress to do wild\Nthings with typography, and people to talk Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.22,0:09:21.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about running a business in WordPress, how\Ndevelopers can communicate with designers, Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.39,0:09:25.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different things you can do with\NWordPress, etc, etc. And lastly, when Dialogue: 0,0:09:27.61,0:09:30.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people see themselves represented on stage\Nthat gives more people confidence and Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.41,0:09:35.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helps them feel like they belong there.\NThey feel less under represented. So what Dialogue: 0,0:09:39.01,0:09:42.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're looking for today this is a section\Nthat if there is something specific that Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.42,0:09:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our group was looking for, we would put\Nthis in but I have nothing specific for Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.86,0:09:53.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,us.

Next, we're Dialogue: 0,0:09:57.34,0:10:00.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to talk about one of my favorite\Nparts of this workshop called dispelling Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.95,0:10:05.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the myths. So everyone has their own\Nreasons for not speaking in public, Dialogue: 0,0:10:07.84,0:10:10.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially at tech events. But most of\Nthese reasons are based on myths that we Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.04,0:10:15.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can dispel, or concerns that we can\Naddress. Myth one, I'm not an expert.
