Re: [racket-users] RacketCon Code of Conduct

Then, I started having private conversations with people, some women, some POC, and realized they had bad interactions that I jus

RE: [racket-users] RacketCon Code of Conduct

IMHO both Matthias and Claire Alvis (and others) have valuable points, how contradictory this may be, though.
