First off, I've been a little remiss in my duties as a mentor here. Appologies for that and thanks to Chris for keeping things moving. I hope to find more time to spend on this project in the near future.
I would like to see the project members discussing how we can go about building community diversity in the project. What simple actions can we take to raise awareness (over and above the lower barriers and make releases items in the board report)? I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who are lurking here but not yet contributing. What is stopping you from de-lurking? How can we help you take those first initial steps? For those active in the project how do we communicate the value of Airavata to the rest of the world? Are there any often requested items that people can work on as a first step into the project community? Any other ideas? My goal is for us to come up with 3-5 concrete actions that we can include in our next board report.
