The state of gender diversity has a long way to go before it can reach acceptable levels in tech — as well as in society in general. The positive news is that there is a strong undercurrent of players who are striving to make a difference.

Initiatives created to help bring about positive change was one of the main topics discussed during a podcast hosted earlier this month by Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack  during Cloud Foundry Summit Europe 2018 in Basel, Switzerland. Jennifer Cloer, founder of and lead consultant for THINKit PR, creator and executive producer for The Chasing Grace Project and co-founder of Wicked Flick Productions;  Swarna Podila, senior director, community, for the Cloud Foundry Foundation, and Steve Greenberg, founder of Resilient Scale, were the podcast guests on hand who spoke about their experiences and projects devoted to improved diversity.
