Hey guys! I love what you all do so much and I'm excited for SK5. That said, I noticed that the speaker list had relatively few people of color (2/20). This has been talked about a lot in the skeptic/atheist/etc communities (notably by Greta Christina), and the Reason Rally's speakers and performers were about 20% nonwhite (so double your percentage). Is this something you thought about when you were inviting speakers? Is increasing the visibility of speakers of color something you're committed to, now and in the future?
