[Scipy-organizers] Diversity blog post

[Carol Willing]

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the heartfelt words. I think you have done a very good job 
of listening to feedback from the community. I also believe that you are 
getting the ball rolling on concrete actions for creating a "welcoming" 
and "information rich" conference experience.

Sheila's suggestions about OpenHatch and its guide are great. I think it 
would be great to try to have Shauna Gordon-McKeon speak at a 
"welcoming" event for newcomers. She has a passion for open science and 
experience creating positive, productive community.

Please count me in for helping on getting the word out through PyLadies. 
We have some good energy building in our San Diego Python User 
Group/PyLadies community around SciPy topics. I'm hoping that we can 
pull together a talk for next year on teaching/inspiring your local user 
community about the great projects in the SciPy community and how 
accessible that they are.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer with your family. Thank 
you again to you and all that worked on SciPy 2014. Personally, I really 
enjoyed meeting and collaborating with folks.

Warmly,
Carol
