@tacoverdo Yesterday, I learned that all speakers at Linux Foundation conference are required to take a short training about the importance of inclusivity. The course briefly touches on the most important topics related to inclusivity, such as unconscious bias and prejudices (link: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/inclusive-speaker-orientation/)
And that made me wonder if we have a similar training on Learn WordPress, and if there would be a way to require taking it for all meetupMeetupAll local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/.
