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.

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.

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!
