• Initiative Brainstorming (Dan Middleton / All)
  • Besides the community questionnaire, what more do we need for baselining the community?
  • How will we generate gender diversity and inclusion recommendations?
  • What other areas are people passionate about and can suggest actions for?
    • Are there technical recommendations? (Make first commits easier? Convert a one time contributor to a two time contributor? ...?)
    • Outreach to member companies and other companies "staffing" hyperledger projects?

Notes

• Action Item: David to send a note to list asking people to nominate themselves before next meeting in two weeks
• For Global Forum, Alissa shared her thoughts on the structure of the diversity happy hour – having a guest speaker for 10 minutes, running a think tank – a moderated design session for 30 minutes and asking people to make commitments.  And are there ways to continue to have people take action and engage throughout the rest of the event.
  
  • Action Item: Alissa to share details on author who might be a good speaker
  • Action Item: Swetha to share proposal on the list for a DCI community best practices session we could submit
  • Action Item: Kelly to share on the list about graphics or slides to include in spaces during HGF to help inform or engage with people
• Action Item: Dan to respond on list to person who asked for a speaker for a D&I panel
• Discussion of how to promote the survey and reaching out to the Marketing Committee for their help
• Discussion of survey comments that had been left on the wiki.
  • Action Item: David to post to list to point people to the comments and ask them to respond on wiki
• Discussion of backlog items and priorities of other aspects of diversity the group could focus on such as time zones or accessibility
  • TZ is something possibly worth looking at – is it a problem, how do people solve it, what are best practices we can have projects adopt
  • Making decisions on-list only (async), putting that out front on the project page so people know it's done that way
  • Recording all calls and making sure there is time for people to listen and respond before things are finalized
