KDE LGBT

At 2021 Akademy, the #kde-lgbtq channel had a BoF. We decided it would be illuminating to send a census around to the kde-community mailing list to get a handle on how things are.

1. Survey Questions

• Standard "what do you identify as", pronouns, get-to-know-yous, etc.
• Did you identify as this when you first joined KDE?
• How do you feel about being out in KDE? Do you feel it is supportive? How?
• If you have problems, do you know who to turn to? Do you know who on the CWG is an ally, or can be trusted with lgbtq issues and concerns
• Have you had problems in the community? Answers will remain anonymous, we don't need specifics, but be sure to contact the CWG with serious concerns; this is just a census, after all.

1. Community Working Group

It was pointed out that getting LGBTQ+ folks on the eV board isn't nearly as important as making sure the CWG represents us and understands what matters. Apparently in previous years Akademy was/was proposed to be hosted in a country that isn't safe for LGBTQ people to be at, and concerns were disregarded. Lets fix that!
