We're happy to have you here. :) Community outreach and diversity efforts are one of the things CommOps is helping with in Fedora. Eventually, there might be a formal Diversity working group down the line too, with tatica's recent appointment as the Diversity Adviser. For me personally, it's really cool to see people from other distributions and communities join forces to accomplish the same types of goals. There's so many things we can all help each other with and that type of cross-community collaboration is what the spirit of open source is all about. We're looking forward to having you here in both CommOps and Fedora. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask either in IRC or the mailing list at any time. :) -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Fedora Women Day 2016 planning
by Justin W. Flory 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Hi all, As was discussed in Tuesday's Diversity meeting, I was going to create the event page for Fedora Women Day 2016 using some other event templates I've used. The page now exists, and you can find details for it here. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Women_Day_2016 There's not much info on there yet, but this wiki page should make a good location for putting related information and planning in a single place where anyone can refer back to it. I'm about to be leaving for a little bit so I didn't put down an event description yet, but someone might also be able to write up something better for that too. Discussion about Fedora Women Day should happen on diversity(a)lists.fedoraproject.org. Thanks all! :) -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Once the plans are a little more settled, it wouldn't be a bad idea to share this on the Ambassadors list (it's still a work-in-progress for an event planning for how local events might be planned). As for the agenda, I believe these are some of the details we're hoping to wrap up on soon. ;) We have a fair amount of time, but hopefully at the next Diversity meeting on Tuesday, we can try to cover more about what the event will consist of and put this on the wiki page. -- Cheers, Justin W.

Flock Submission for Women in open source.
by Amita 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hello Everyone, As promised, below is my submission for flock. Feel free to pitch in to add more value. women in open source ========================= My paper will highlight different aspect of diversity and how fedora is supporting diversity in all terms, but my paper is focused more on women. It is wonderful to be a women. A powerful gender that supports the rights and equality of women. Be it social, political, economic, cultural or open source - women should have equal rights. But, If we look at the percentage of women participation in any filed, be it open source or any other field, ratio is damn poor. We, being in the eligible category to guide other women for open source culture, should take steps forward to make this ratio better. I know, taking initiative in this man dominant world, is not easy. But together, we can and we will make the difference. Every tiny little step counts, like educating poor female children, reaching out to college girls to spread knowledge and opportunities about open source, educating them about Ada Initiative, the GNOME Project’s Outreach Program for Women, OpenHatch and Women in Drupal, pyladies, GSOC. There are so many nice outreach programs for women in open source, we just need to spread the knowledge and motivate every women out there to join the movement. There are lots of things to do, it is not just coding in fact, you can do many different plus exciting things in open source i.e. writing, documentation, designing, translation, testing etc. It is duty of every established women in open source to take a pledge that she will educate/help/motivate atleast 2 other women in her life span to join open source community and make this open source culture more lovable and beautiful and little more feminist. Thanks & Regards, Amita(Ami)

Flock Proposal = "Diversity Panel: Building an inclusive community"
by María Leandro 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello All! I'm about to propose a Panel for Flock, where we can have representatives from diverse minorities to speak up about their experience. The idea is to let people know how diverse we are, how we come up with that and how we keep doing great work within Fedora. I would be interested on have at least 3 members to work out this with me, but time is running out, we don't have much time. Please, share this email with your friends and let them know what's going up. NOTE: It can be either people who will attend to Flock or people that is willing to do video (hangout or recordings) Thank you all! -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:tatica LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56
