Congrats on being elected to the TC, Colleen! You mentioned earlier in this thread that, "a major problem in the tech world is not just attracting underrepresented contributors, but retaining them". I'm curious if the TC has considered polling the people that have left OpenStack for their

Thanks for asking, Flavio. That's one of the topic I mentioned in my candidacy, that's because as a Chinese working on OpenStack in the past 6 years, I do have some experiences about this though I agree it couldn't be done in 1 cycle/year. But I think it's still a domain I can contribute for
