Stackers – We’re happy to announce the
creation of a Diversity Working Group. The genesis for this
work group was a discussion at the May meeting of the
OpenStack Board of Directors ahead of the Vancouver Summit.
The Board is committed to fostering an
inclusive and welcoming place for all people to collaborate to
drive innovation and design cutting-edge data center
capabilities, while finding the best answers to our most
pressing challenges. To achieve this, the Board formed this
Work Group to determine what actions are required to fulfill
this commitment. Three Board members volunteered to work with
community members in this Work Group and bring
updates/requests to the Board for discussion and action on a
regular basis, starting with the July meeting.

effort, please:
