Q: What does good tech look like? @minibego tech is a means towards an end, it's a tool (not inherently good or bad). It's people we should convince not to do harm (this includes power imbalances & ecological considerations). Open source as a way forward! #GITT2024

@krob Different people have different levels of agency, important that people act from their level of agency (the not so glamourous work is equally important). From the tech perspective: more open systems, people can shape tech more than in the past #GITT2024

@PauManzur1 Actually had the same question. 1) As a client; show that it is a problem by collecting data & examples; 2) As a provider: offer quality checks/assurance for non-inclusive language to support translators; e.g. in XTM, but not (yet?) in other tools #GITT2024

Q3 from Danielle Saunders (audience): "How do we convince people this is something worth working on, if many people don't think this is important?" Both within companies & user groups (thinking this is #wokeism) #GITT2024

(for the record, @HelenaMoniz5 had to catch a flight, we are not actively silencing her for these next questions 😉 #GITT2024 Thank you for being on the panel, it was brilliant! ❤️)

@minibego "more freedom for others is more freedom for you" is the basic argument in inclusiveness advocacy. #GITT2024

@PauManzur1 This is an open question, "no solution will please everyone" cf. CSA Research report on inclusive language (2022). Education is important (both ourselves and others), still trying to make people understand why this matters. #GITT2024

Time for our panel on gender inclusivity, from research to professional practice at #GITT2024 with @PauManzur1 @HelenaMoniz5 @krob and @minibego moderated by @jasmijnbastings It's promising to be spicy! 🌶️🔥

@krob On doing interdisciplinary work and feeling slightly out of place everywhere yet making it work. For work in technology = 'why are we doing this?' is important to ask & how do we meet real needs and enable others? #GITT2024

@minibego On trying to meet high expectations and translating, interpreting, and human rights work. Translating feminist and queer work within the bounds of what is allowed according to the RAE, being a PhD and a published poet #GITT2024
