Recording
Minutes and Action Items
- Cloud Foundry Background
- 5 years under LF; 10 years total
- DCI not organizationally addressed but shared responsibility among foundation staff (~5) and community (~30k)
- Inclusivity best practices
- Docs are a common first landing point, make sure these are accurate and accessible
- Tagging issues as "good first issue"
- Is the code readable for a new contributor?
- Working groups
- Diminished over time - similar experience with HL
- Remaining 2 SIGs:
- Integrations (cloud foundry using k8s)
- Operators
- Marketing Working Group
- Annual Summits (1 in N.A.; 1 in EU)
- Foundation hosted
- Program committee from community who votes on program co-chairs
- Foundation gives DCI guidance to community on breadth of topics (beginner to advanced) and speaker diversity (all aspects of diversity including company affiliation).
- Show rather than tell: Best practice is not to introduce a speaker by their diverse characteristics
- Diversity talks:
- Diversity Luncheons have been successful and growing over time:
- Community Awards ← (This looks like a good tool for HL to adopt)
- Different categories each year
- e.g. Top contributor, voice of X, community named category
- Best end user story
- Best at welcoming new community / inclusive approach / etc.
- Different categories each year
- Program committee from community who votes on program co-chairs
- Foundation hosted
- Measurement
- Abandoned surveys because of poor response rate. This echos HL experience so far ... ~10% response rate.
- Instead using:
- https://cloudfoundry.biterg.io/
- Covers some stats like company diversity but not general demographics
- Event demographics are easier to track because of registration
- Misc:
- Help be aware of language ...
- ("guys" vs. "people" or "folks").
- "easy" - nothing is easy or obvious to new contributors
- https://textio.com/ is a tool to help check for biased language ..
- often used for job postings
- includes a gender bias meter
- Help be aware of language ...
