[fedora-d&i] Fedora D&I Meeting Summary
by Amita Sharma 19 Jan '20

19 Jan '20

*Hello Everyone,Thanks for joining Fedora D&I call on Saturday and participating in discussion. Special thanks to our new Fedora Community Action and Impact Coordinator (aka FCAIC) - Marie Nordin for attending and sharing great ideas. Here is the summary and highlights of what was discussed: - On-boarding new team members :- This initiative can help - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Contributor_Recruitment <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Contributor_Recruitment> . Currently this initiative is in its planning/development phase.- D&I hackfest :- To be planned for summer 2020. Please note that more details to come in a wiki page. For now, here are some hackfest agenda ideas we discussed in the meeting. - Mini D&I event packages : Packages for meetups, socials, local hackfests, film screenings, skill shares etc. - This ties into Mindshare $100-150 events. - This also ties into one of the goals the FPL mentions here for 2020: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org…> - Putting together a package might mean different things. But the basis would be: how to request and receive resources (money & swag), marketing materials for before the event, materials for the event. Strategy plan on how to achieve favorable outcomes (new contributors/users & also a general D&I welcome). And also tips and hints on running an event in general.- This also ties into the resource pack we share with FWD organizers. It's not very detailed but it's the start of what we want to do to help empower local organizers to put together more Fedora events in their own communities. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17_MicCWj4o08VU3HhxcOJ_N7iBGURXgb6o1xaq0… <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17_MicCWj4o08VU3HhxcOJ_N7iBGURXgb6o1xaq0…> . This is kind of content with a need for: social media templates for advertisement of the events, posters, ready to go slide deck, suggestions for swag, and also a “how to” to get enabled to do this.- New Contributors Entry Point : Preparing a point of entry for new contributors for "contributor recruitment" initiative. This might mean picking out tasks/responsibilities that are good for newcomers. Creating some kind of mentor cycle, who will take on the next newcomer or setting up a method of communication for group mentorship. Working with the people on the initiative to give feedback/improve the process.- D&I Ideas Session : Planning in an idea session. High in the sky with pie ideas/dreams for Fedora in regards to D&I.- D&I or women's event for Flock : Planning a D&I or women's event for Flock should also be on the list(women’s lunch). This idea can be broadened. The idea that Fedora promotes D&I for D&I sake. For example, we do a session at a *different* events that are not Fedora specific. Say Devconf, or an open source summit, a D&I social "sponsored by Fedora".- Creating Outreach Materials : Another cool agenda item/idea would be to try to focus some outreach. Create some materials (email, blog posts, social media posts) that are strategically sent to groups that would be interested in what we are doing. For example, internal Red Hat Pride group for those of us Red Hatters, local pride and ally groups, diversity in open source groups, diversity in tech groups. Etc- D&I Governance Tickets : Discuss, finalize, and close governance topics/issues on D&I issue tracker. - Social Hours for Fedora by D&I : Calling for Fedora contributors on remote social hours and sharing thoughts/ideas/chatting etc. To make it more engaging/interesting for people to attend, we had the idea to use boardgamearena.com <http://boardgamearena.com> as an activity to bring people together. You can also check the recording here <https://bluejeans.com/s/3AtD2>. Hope to meet you all soon again next time.Thanks & Regards,Amita*
