Hi All, Reading the threads here as well as on ComDev, I see we have a need to understand the current diversity state of our committers. This is great and I support the survey initiative.
I was wondering if we could get country information for all Committers, PMCs, Directors and Members and see if we can even draw some facts on geographical distribution of our volunteers? I say so given the low turn out from the last survey we did back in 2016: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/ASF+Committer+Diversity+Survey+-+2016 Even if we cant have many committers participating, we could have some info about their countries and from that, we can draw some conclusions. I see our iCLA and even the corporate docs have countries or address field which we can gather information from that. https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf Is this information stored in a Datastore somewhere? This will not be perfect given people may have moved to new locations over the years but its something we can start looking at. It will give us a glimpse into the Continent or country diversity and even from that we could deduce race based on country info. What do you all think?
