Hi All

I am rather incensed by the twitter post (attached), in that it seems,
once again that some opportunities are ONLY available to young people.

To counter this, I was thinking, if we try and promote on social media
that we need help with say Documentation, then we should make it clear
the opportunity is available to all, but perhaps in a way that takes a
subtle DIG at the above mentality.

Something like

Would you like to get involved in developing future free software
projects.  Xubuntu is a GNU / Linux based operating system, the
Developer teams are looking for Developers, Testers, Writers, Artists
and Marketing expertise to help drive the project forward.

We believe in ensuring equality and diversity in our teams, therefore
these opportunities are open to ALL.

please visit https://xubuntu.org/contribute/

Does something like this sound appropriate,  one of the things like
about the free software communities is that we are diverse, anyone can
contribute and feel valued for doing so.


Thanks


Paul

Isn’t our openness and commitment to diversity already highlighted by Ubuntu Code of Conduct 2.0?  See: https://ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct
