|
| |
+ Fedora is a big community that includes contributors and users from many
|
| |
+ different countries, each with their own experiences and historical
|
| |
+ backgrounds that contribute to a diverse mix of cultural, educational,
|
| |
+ and behavioral norms. To continuously create and foster an inclusive
|
| |
+ environment in the Fedora community, it’s important to respond to the
|
| |
+ needs of existing contributors and users, and welcome new contributors
|
| |
+ and users from diverse backgrounds.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The *Fedora Diversity Advisor* acts as a source of support and
|
| |
+ information for all contributors and users, especially those from
|
| |
+ underrepresented populations, so that issues of inclusion and equity can
|
| |
+ be discussed and addressed with the planning of multiculturalism and
|
| |
+ comfort. The Fedora Diversity Advisor will lead initiatives to assess
|
| |
+ and promote equality and inclusion within the Fedora contributor and
|
| |
+ user communities, and will develop project strategy on diversity issues.
|
| |
+ The Diversity Advisor will also be the point of contact for Fedora’s
|
| |
+ participation in third-party outreach programs and events.
