[Scipy-organizers] Diversity blog post

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Thanks for the kind words, Carol.  I'm actually a lurker on the
scipy-organizers list, thanks to Sheila, so you didn't need to CC me.

I'm happy to talk about ways the SciPy community can expand/improve its
newcomer outreach and increase diversity.

best
Shauna
