Along with re-running our own committer survey, there are plenty of resources and existing frameworks to consider for what or how we might want to approach research questions around D&I.
- The CHAOSS community - including participants from across FOSS organizations - now has a D&I working group: https://github.com/chaoss/wg-diversity-inclusion#chaoss-diversity-and-inclusion-working-group Some of their frameworks are valuable to review, to give us a kick start in defining specific inclusion areas we want to research or explore building materials in: events, communications, leadership, etc. - Outreachy is a paid internship program I keep hearing great things about; they manage intern applications and stipends and rely on open source projects that need developers to provide mentoring, much like GSoC does (but on a different scale / different focus on interns). https://www.outreachy.org I haven't heard many people here talking about Outreachy; it would be great to put together a one-pager to let projects know about it, in case any of them wanted to sign up to mentor. - Open Source Diversity is a simple but useful list of some other independent programs working in different groups: https://opensourcediversity.org It's mostly useful for people who want to learn more about various FOSS-related D&I programs out there. Many of them wouldn't be directly applicable at the ASF, but some of the programs other FOSS groups run are interesting to see how they do it. Figuring out ways to distill some of those ideas, and present them in an Apache Way kind of context would be useful for our projects that want to do more. -- - Shane ComDev PMC The Apache Software Foundation --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: diversity-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: diversity-h...@apache.org
