After that, some other topics discussed were the importance of having referents from the early stages, the real commitment of <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-1cb10d53-e2c6-4e77-8d2f-137d44920e41\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\">companies<\/span> when hiring under-represented collectives and if they are really productive in a <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-2e8f8f6d-2251-451d-a41b-f189649140ab\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\">team<\/span> and its culture or their views on positive discrimination.

So, at lunch time we gathered in a conference room and talked about the pros and cons of managing a technical <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-5b2cd510-ff05-4b52-88e3-78a84be56988\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\">community<\/span>.
