I like "Fedora Diversity and Inclusion Working Group" :)

I am not sure if I am considered a member of the group or not, so take my vote as is appropriate.

+1 for "Fedora Diversity and Inclusion Working Group"

+1 for "Fedora Diversity and Inclusion Working Group" :)

Is there any particular reason why there are +1 for "Fedora Diversity and Inclusion Working Group" over "Fedora Diversity and Inclusion Team"?

Within the Fedora community, we know what a "working group" represents for the project. I am concerned that it might not translate so when we communicate with other communities while 'team' might be the more generic equivalent.

"Working Group" isn't just a Fedora thing, but it does have a different meaning from "Team". (See for example IETF.)

Usually working groups have a specific deliverable — like, Modularity Working Group's charter to bring that feature to the project. Or it could be ongoing, like the Editions — but those still have regular output. It also implies a fairly formal structure, regular meetings with defined process, and limited (but active) membership. Team, on the other hand, could include more people and be less formal, and may have a broader charter.

Pick which of these reflects what the group wants, not just what sounds better. :)

Thanks @mattdm for the clarification. This definitely helps. To me, it sounds like we are a Working Group right now. The question here is do we want to move towards being a team?

Discussed in 2018-04-27 meeting.

Final name: Diversity and Inclusion Team

We agreed on the final name to be Diversity and Inclusion Team. I think the and Inclusion was the important part to capture. Given @mattdm's description of Working Group, we decided to keep it as Team.

Finding places to update

Before closing this ticket, we should search for reference points that mention our name and try to update these references to reflect this change (e.g. wiki pages, repo metadata, etc.).

The team badge was updated.

Thanks for driving this to a conclusion everyone :)

I think, we can open a new ticket to update the name at different places (point each one of them which needs change) and close this one.

I updated the pagure repo and wiki. One of my concern here is that the name and header of this page cannot be changed: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity_Team

Here are some more things that need to be updated:

  • IRC, telegram and mailing list description

  • Fedocal?

Please add more to this list so we can close it in next meeting

I think @bee2502 got most of them on the wiki and in Pagure. I updated the mailing list description just now. Telegram and IRC are already done. The Fedocal events for the team meeting also use the correct name.

We can close this as complete now. :clapper: Thanks Bee!
