This is an excellent post and it's a shame it seems to be getting flagged.

Not only does it address problems in diversity in technology, but it provides concrete, repeatable steps to help improve the situation. It sounded like the hackathon was better for all involved, and not only the people they sought to include.

I would guess that it set off the voting ring detectors (rather than people manually flagging it; that would be pretty fucked up).

Sometimes, for posts like this that seem beneficial for everyone, I wish PG could just manually disable them...but that's a slippery slope to say the least.

I believe that it is getting flagged because the term "More Inclusive" is not liked by those hackathon goers who see no problem with the status quo, and may engage in rhetoric like "well if they wanted to come they are welcomed to"
