I think this avenue of research is good. and I don't want to detract from it. but I figured I should mention that written speech and interaction carries a lot of information that lends itself to unconscious bias too e.g., command of English, dialect, register, tone, mitigated speech (i.e. directne

The next paragraph after the one about e-mail names and dates is going to be about the fact that English has many variations in dialect and style. Style, such as how directly one will tell someone else they are wrong, tends to vary with both gender and culture. I picked names as the initial poi

Google scholar seems to know about the online pre-prints that are available. I have been using it without e.g. logging into the ACM digital library, so it will list as free to me the papers that anyone can see without paying. This is a bit different from asking for a copy of a paper for my own us

General thoughts 1) Training Would it be a good idea to pay for training for any ASF leaders (board etc) who wanted it? 2) Events Are there events around D&I with similar orgs that it might be worth sending people (board or committe members) to participate in? Or to bring people to ApacheCon.
