Explicit invitiations to contribute

[Saallen]

• luckas Black
• 6 week intensive outreach accelerator for diversity contributors. I will share with participants the takeaways on how to build programs for greater inclusivity, how to ramp up new contibs from non typical paths with with adult learners and navigate creation of similar programs
• I'll provide information on the timeline, the budget, the participants, the materials, the results from the first instance. Ascend Portland will have just finished so I really want to get people thinking about how they could take what this project managed to do and create their own versions - either as short or long form projects. We can work on ways to promote greater diversity from concept to completion.
• Going forward, more events created by us will have language geared to wider diversity, considerations that would be more welcoming to more people, that adult learning will have perceived value increased, and that there will be more projects like Ascend in more countries.

Should assignee be luckas black?

@Saallen only if the facilitator has a github account, i guess. maybe better if the wrangler assigns themselves? or whoever is responsible for the session facilitator being successful.
