For a post that positions itself as trying to take responsibility for a mistake, there are certainly a lot of excuses provided here. Also, the "make things better" section really seems to put the onus of making things better on readers of this post. What are you all planning to do to make things better here?
Continue to reach out to individuals or organizations with diverse audiences to ask them to share the survey.
Rethink the "Resources" section for next year, and think about how we can make it better reflect the CSS community.
Make it easier to filter our data through multiple variables in order to better isolate and identify any potential bias (this is something that is already possible through our API by the way, but we want to expose it through our UI eventually).
Involve as many women as possible in the actual creation of the survey and survey results (but again not with the goal of discharging us of responsibility or asking them to do the work in our place).
Keep educating ourselves on this topic to see how others are doing a better job on it.
Do you have any other suggestions?
(And by the way we've been talking about women right here but I'm fully conscious the same conversation could take place around BIPOCs; or even something like accessibility issues.)

So here are the actual steps we're taking:

I think these next steps sound really strong and I appreciate you messaging me back here to share this.
Reading your points above and responses to others, I do believe you are actively trying to correct the issues with inclusivity in the survey.
I'll continue to think on this and will be in touch if I have advice.
