#57 Involvement with other D&I activities
Closed: Moved 5 years ago Opened 6 years ago by amsharma.

What do we want to do?

This came up during the past FAD, during FLOCK and in meetings that we need to work together with local communities and other open source projects.

Why do we want to do this?

  • To build a stronger base for our D&I activities by learning from other open source projects.
  • Active collaboration with other open source projects to impact overall D&I in open source communities.
  • Engage with local chapters of communities to have a wider and global during events like FWD.

Possible ideas

  1. Find communities we can engage with locally to have a wider impact during events and to share resources
  2. We can have a wiki page asking communities to reach out to us along.
  3. Actively reaching out to local chapters of LUGs/ Pyladies/ Django Girls etc groups especially where we have local contacts.
  4. Collaborating with other open source projects - Passive collaboration for eg. Fedora diversity team recently participated in a video call by Mozilla to know more about their CoC guidelines research and development process.

  5. Active collaboration - Being involved with newly formed CHAOSS project could be a way forward. A lot of different open source projects along with some Fedora contributors are already a part of it to engage in D&O related research.

Team, please suggest your thoughts.


If we want to reach out to local communities for FWD, we need to start working on it soon to achieve that for FWD 2018.

We need to research further about how are different open source projects are involved with CHAOSS. We probably need to reach out to Fedora community involved with CHAOSS.

I agree. Let's evaluate what we need to do for this.
Blog Post ?
Mails ?
Tweets/other social media?
Asking other communities to get engaged - Like Mozilla?

Via mails or by open blog post or having a community call may help here?

How about all? A blog post first about what we are doing, why we are doing and them an email and social media linking that post.

Asking other communities to get engaged - Like Mozilla?

Yes PyLadies, Womoz, RLadies, university women in computing groups.. everyone. who have a space. However, It will be great if we can have a virtual hack session about this soon. We need to start planning for FWD 2018. Before that, it would be great to fix some goals for Fedora Women and plan the Fedora Women's Day events and other related activities to support those goals.

Let's discuss this internally first and research more before jumping into it. I will try to contact a few people I know within CHAOSS and can try asking them more about the work they are doing and what involvement in CHAOSS means for the project.

We can carry this discussion forward in #66
