I'm sorry this has taken me a bit to get to -- I should have a chance this weekend!

[djmitche]

Looking good! I didn't see information about accessibility in the website or the answers above, so I've left those un-checked. Given more information, or if I've missed something, I'll be happy to revisit.

It also seems like the family-friendliness is still a work-in-progress, so I've left those un-checked as well. Perhaps @Nebrethar can indicate whether the hybrid format is sufficient for family friendliness.

[djmitche]

(sorry, I missed the "Comment" button!)

[Nebrethar]

I will review and provide my feedback in a couple of hours 😁 Sorry it took me so long!

[Nebrethar]

The event will be accessible in the hybrid format, and you are in talks about getting it on-site. That's a tough one. Rather than let it help or hurt, I believe it's fair to take it out.

Reviewing team let me know if you object, but I will take it out for now.

@bistaastha @djmitche Let me know when your reviews are finished 😁

[bistaastha]

Hi @Nebrethar! I am done with my review.

[djmitche]

This is what remains for me:

I didn't see information about accessibility in the website or the answers above, so I've left those un-checked. Given more information, or if I've missed something, I'll be happy to revisit.

[Nebrethar]

Thanks, @bistaastha @djmitche for your reviews and feedback!

I am going to generate a DEI badge, @Max-Plain-Schwarz, for FOSS Backstage 😁 Let me know if you would like to discuss further or if you accept the badge.
