Hello Everyone
A big thank you to everyone that has helped or participated in getting
the Committer Diversity Survey out, and also to all the committers that
responded to the survey. It has been really good to be able to collect
this information and see what it tells us about our committer base.
I've loaded the main data and graphs from the survey onto the Community
Development wiki (see link below)
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/ASF+Committer+Diversity+Survey+-+2016
In total we received 765 responses (out of a 5861 committer base at the
time the survey was run) so around a 13% response rate.
We also got 111 feedback comments of which 29 did not give their
permission to share or from quote their comments.
I've categorised all the comments into various themes / topics with the
main ones as follows:
1. Suggestions for improvements within the ASF
2. Suggestions for improvements to the survey (or any future ones)
3. Thanks / positive feedback about the ASF and/or survey
4. Feedback and ideas around diversity
Next steps will be:
* Continue to analyse the information and identify any potential
Community Development related actions
* Start discussion threads on the various themes and topics raised to
see if they will result in additional actions
* Discuss feedback and diversity ideas and if necessary, integrate
into diversity strategy
Thanks
Sharan
