[ I'm sending questions quickly, but there's no urgency to answer ] Hi Sruthi,
I must admit I am a bit clueless about diversity and outreach efforts in other Free Software projects. So I have absolutely no idea about how we are performing compared to others. Clearly we could improve, but are others doing better than we do? Which part of the issue is global to the Free Software world as a whole, and which part is specific to Debian? Do you have numbers to share? Are there nice initiatives in other Free Software projects that we should copy? Not a question but a comment: related to outreach, in a recent discussion about DebConf attendance, there was a subthread about online events, and a mention of webinar-like setting. Maybe that's something that is relatively cheap to explore: - make sure that videos/slides we already produce during events are properly referenced so that it's easy to find them if someone is looking for information on a specific topic (like a Youtube channels with appropriate playlists -- I'm not actually suggesting the use of Youtube for that, or maybe I am) - produce content specifically targetted at newcomers, like higher quality "onboarding videos", with both technical and organizational content Lucas
