by Barrett, Carol L 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hi Jonathan - In a recent Diversity team meeting, there was a discussion on the process for handling any concerns that are raised regarding Code Of Conduct violations. People are interested to better understand who receives the emails, what process is used to review and determine follow-on actions. Can you provide an overview of how this is handled? Thanks Carol

In this meeting, rolandchan requested feedback on a survey. I've not been following along so if I'm talking nonsense, please disregard. Survey draft: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19P117V1OxZgRuPP6S2nwNCH6cC6v0jwwAaFswwLNq… * The survey omits many aspects of diversity, EG religion, ethnicity, disability. Maybe I'm only seeing a small piece of the final survey? IMO a single large survey will be more successful than many small ones. * Q2 excludes asexuals. GSRM (gender, sexual or romantic minority) is a more inclusive term than LGBT, I suggest rewriting in those terms. Alexis (lxsli) -- Nova developer, Hewlett-Packard Limited.

[OpenStack Foundation] [Diversity] Call for mentors Outreachy Dec-March 2016
by Barrett, Carol L 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Diversity WG - This seems to be well aligned with our direction and I wanted to make sure everyone sees it. Any thoughts on actions we could take to support and increase the synergy with our goals? Thanks Carol From: Victoria Martínez de la Cruz [mailto:victoria@vmartinezdelacruz.com] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 9:12 AM To: Openstack-internships; OpenStack Development Mailing List Subject: [openstack-dev] Call for mentors Outreachy Dec-March 2016 Hi everyone, OpenStack will join next round of the Outreachy internships and we need you help: we are looking for full-time contributors willing to share some of their time, knowledge and experience to make our open-source organization more diverse and have the opportunity to meet new talents. What is Outreachy Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved. Read more in https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/. OpenStack has been participating in this internships since Jan-Apr 2013, and we have had really good results: we got more full-time contributors, we got lots of good quality contributions, interns had the opportunity to give a great step in their professional careers and also it has been an enriching experience for everyone involved with the internship. More information about OpenStack participation in Outreachy can be find in https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy. Applications open next September 22nd, and the deadline for applications is October 27th. https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/DecemberMarch TLDR Contributors interested on mentoring in Outreachy, please feel free to ask any question and ask for further directions here or in #openstack-opw in Freenode. Try to find and propose a task for the next couple of months for your mentee. The task should be able to be finished on three months. Add this idea in this wiki https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Internship_ideas. Please join #openstack-opw as well, to welcome applicants and help them with their setups. Another way to get in touch is through the internships mailing list, http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-internships. Mentors Time requirements Being a mentor shouldn't take a lot of time from your working week. Mentors from previous rounds organized differently: you can schedule a weekly meeting to catch up with your mentee latest work, questions and next steps; some other prefer having a daily short meeting; you choose how to organize your agenda. Consider that different mentees will need different guidance, but we aim to work with proactive and independent people. This qualities are defined during the application process, so make sure to participate actively in this so you make sure you get a mentee you can work with. Tasks Mentors are supposed to act as a channel for mentees with the rest of the community. You should be able to help them understand the community workflow (tools, milestones), introduce them to the team you are working with (so they also have other people to learn from), help them to gain confidence and participate of the weekly meetings. You are not supposed to teach them the basics (say, we cannot have people that cannot program in Python), but you should be able to point them in the right direction with the tools we use in the community and they should be able to learn at their own pace. Mentees Time requirements It is a full-time internship, so mentees are expected to work 40 hours per week in the assigned project. Tasks Mentees are supposed to devote their time on learning about the community, getting familiar with the tools used to contribute to OpenStack, understanding the basics of the code base of the project they are working on and finishing the assigned task before the internship ends. They are also encouraged to help with bug triaging, bug fixing and code reviewing. All this should be shared in a personal blog mentees have to set up when they start with their internships. Thanks all, Victoria

The Diversity WG is actively working on many things, including moving forward with our Data Diversity Plan that includes analyzing what, where and how we’re currently collecting this information, determining where to store this information, defining how to enable the core team to analyze and report on this data, so on and so forth. I support the stance the Foundation has taken in the past, which was to provide an open text field (and/or option to select “prefer not to say”) that enables a community member to, if they so choose, share their identity. While we’re trying to better understand the makeup of our community we cannot limit the options they can choose from or ask what will likely be perceived as personal questions (do you identify as a gender minority). We can either choose to use an open text field / prefer not to say approach or take the hybrid approach that Facebook has taken where they list 50+ identities but still have an open text field. I suggest we stick with what the Foundation has been doing, as this will enable our community members to decide if they want to share their sexual identity and they’re not boxed into choosing X, Y, or Z.

I'm certainly keen to see it, but getting it isn't my focus. Regarding the opt-out capability, my intent is that every question is optional. The survey itself will require a one page intro where we address this and other privacy related issues.

At the beginning of 2014[1], the OpenStack Foundations started asking its members to specify their gender. The intention was to start measuring that aspect of diversity in order to improve it. Since the gender issue is extremely new to society, there are lots of acronyms and constant fluxes of differences among the non-binary genders. We decided, after long debate and research, to use an open text form to specify gender because that's the most flexible one. Any other system we found, including the one from UC above, had criticism because the debate even among scholars is not set. You may have noticed that the form to subscribe to the Summit for example asks gender offering 4 options: - male - female - let me tell you > open form (I noticed now it's missing the very valuable 4th option "prefer not to say", which I think may be useful to have even if the response is itself optional) Has anybody looked at the historic data about gender from the members database? /stef [1] A summary of that conversation is on my blog http://maffulli.net/2014/02/05/tracking-gender-diversity-in-the-openstack-d… _______________________________________________ Foundation mailing list Foundation(a)lists.openstack.org<mailto:Foundation@lists.openstack.org> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foundation
