Modified diversity-related message

It's version-controlled anyway, so I'm just going to commit it and
push it so that you can play with the language more. - Sacha

My main intentions are:

- to encourage people to nudge potential speakers, so that people can do
  some of that outreach/encouragement for us
- to experiment with a wider idea of being more inclusive (although maybe
  this is my bias towards hearing about all sorts of cool
  non-stereotypically-Emacs-y things that people are doing with Emacs)

Someone can probably come up with an even better way to express those
things! =)
