I'd like to publicly acknowledge that the new committee will be our first Ruby Australia committee with a majority of women.
As a community, we still have so much more to do in terms of diversity, but I think it's important to recognise these milestones and take a moment to realise how much we have learned. Thank you to everyone in Australia's Ruby community for continuing to find ways to welcome and support each other.
