HI web/Fauxton developers, Ed Cable of the Fineract PMC (who attended my talk at ApacheCon 2018 last week) wanted to point our web developers to the inclusive web project that was kicked off at the Code for Good Week hosted by SFHTML5 (https://www.meetup.com/sfhtml5/events/251864910/) that he participated in two months ago.
It's being led by Meggin Kearney, a Googler. The aims of it are down below and it could be a good effort for our web developers to participate in. - Github Project: https://github.com/Meggin/inclusive-web-project - Video Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEL9wkVtHYc "The goal of this project is to build a more inclusive web developer community. While there are many ways to do this, we need to narrow our focus to a starting point. When you look at the Stack Overflow and GitHub surveys, the demographics are fairly skewed toward one narrow demographic. In this project, let’s create a new developer survey. Let’s actively promote it across intentionally inclusive platforms, keeping track of our metrics over time. We will build a campaign around this survey, a newsletter, a community, all toward first representing the parts of the existing web developer community that may not have a voice yet, and next, growing the community to include a much more diverse group of developers." All the best, Joan
