Another update. I'm writing the note to operati...@apache.org to request the creation of an entity to support and govern diversity and inclusion work. I've added the name of everyone who volunteered here initially, with the caveat that I might have missed someone, so please follow up on the new thread when I send it, nothing intentional.
I've also included a potential framework to work under. You can see it illustrated in this talk I gave at OSCON last year: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FV_9geYGoclJeBb7Ld8Jy0Ze3ex8lTm77dZ6l31y8zo/edit#slide=id.g3e2640810d_1_6 I've also requested an initial quote from the firm we work on Research for OSS contributor documentation (Guidea). I've asked for pricing on a project that will deliver on this: - Identify factors preventing under represented groups to contribute/join Apache projects - Recommendations in how to foster diversity & inclusion based in findings - Help establishing a D&I committee I'll report back their quote.
