It has come to my attention that some folks don't understand why we use the words "Colored" or "Coloured" for some of our community members. It's very important.
I want to thank everyone who donated. In the end we raised over $15,300 from over 280 Donations at #PyConUS!
This will contribute to building communities, giving Pythonistas a chance to lead initiatives and support a lot of conferences who want to see a more diverse Python community.
I’ve avoided directly being on a conference organizing committee because of this “trope” happy to hear this along with @brainwane sentiment that “you are allowed to quit things”.
