I asked the D&I folks at $dayjob for some advice / suggestions and got back the following:
1. Mozilla have been doing some work in this area. It was suggested we reach out to them to get the benefit of their experience. Anyone have any contacts there? 2. Mozilla joined https://womensleadership.stanford.edu/corporate as part of their program. 3. Consider sending folks to relevant conferences e.g. http://www.womentransformingtechnology.com/ 4. Creating a vision for inclusion 5. Various workshops (psychological safety, inclusion) and other educational sessions 6. Hearing from leadership on these topics. 7. Making the content core not extra-curricular. Trying to translate what some of this might look like at the ASF: I think a lot of this is already covered by what Griselda set out here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a5e7e30fad3e89547db554cf64b10d33611d4401356590bddf94b918@%3Cdev.community.apache.org%3E I think I'm getting a little ahead of things but I wanted to add some ideas of my own in terms of what some of the above could look like while the ideas were fresh in my mind. 4. One for the board. 6/7. D&I could/should be part of our quarterly and annual reports. It should appear on the board agenda and in the minutes. It should be in State of the Feather talks at ApacheCon. This sounds like we need a VP D&I to me. I think Sam's thinking was heading in this direction when he mentioned setting up a President's committee. 5. Harder to do in an organisation as virtual as ours. We could/should certainly try and do more of this at ApacheCon. I'm fairly sure that there are geographical concentrations of committers. We should look at putting on specific events for committers where we have concentrations of committers. 3. I'm thinking TAC+. We fund folks to attend these external events.
