Making online collaboration safer at GitHub
The internet is not a safe place for many marginalized people, and efforts by social media companies to address the problem of online harassment have been largely ineffective. As the premier platform for social coding, GitHub has unfortunately faced many of these same problems. Danielle Leong, Application Engineer at GitHub, will provide insight into how GitHub is addressing safety and inclusivity, introduce the Community and Safety team, and describe our vision for making our platform and its communities open and welcoming to all participants. About GitHub Universe: GitHub Universe is a two-day conference dedicated to the creativity and curiosity of the largest software community in the world. Sessions cover topics from team culture to open source software across industries and technologies. For more information on GitHub Universe, check the website: https://githubuniverse.com
