[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #4 `Improving visibility of Code of Conduct`
by Pagure

``
We have / are discussing this idea during the first ever [Fedora Diversity FAD](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Diversity_2017). Here is a summation of our discussions for improving visibility of the Code of Conduct.
## Action items
* #action DiversityTeam File a ticket in the Council Pagure to consider adding a revision to the FAS3 account sign-up to ask new accounts to agree to the Code of Conduct and prompt existing accounts to agree to following it
* #action DiversityTeam Discover if fedmsg hook can be created for a zodbot / Limnoria alias command (i.e. .thank command)
Some more things when we have a chance to revisit…
## Fedora Appreciation Day discussion
Part of the discussion that we had during the FAD was about the Fedora Appreciation Day discussion that originated in CommOps. The end objectives of rolling that into this ticket is that the Fedora Appreciation Day would implictly reward the types of behavior that we would like to encourage among our contributors (and is suggested by the CoC) in a more interactive and engaging method than taking a quiz or reading a policy.
We developed some further ideas to enhance the original proposal for the Appreciation Day, which will be shared further into the ticket there. We encourage cross-team collaboration to work together on fleshing out the details and making this a first-time event for 2017.
## Fedora contribution award
During the FAD, we discussed having a way for awarding positive behavior that we want to encourage contributors to act around the year. This became a discussion item after Amita and Brian introduced the existing Red Hat employee awards system that they can use to send a nomination or e-thanks to another employee
#### Goals
Here's some of the goals we would want to accomplish with an award like this:
1. **Encourage thanking**
2. **Publicly recognize thanking**
3. **Tied to Fedora Appreciation Day by "rolling up" the thanks from the year**
#### Implementation
Tied to the goals, here is what the implementation would look like…
1. **Encourage thanking**
* Thanking a specific type of action
* Idea of the Four Foundations categories that someone can give an award to someone else under
2. **Publicly recognize thanking**
* Badge (for the Four Foundations) and sentence describing the reason that the person received the badge
3. **Tied to Fedora Appreciation Day by "rolling up" the thanks from the year**
* Showing them off at the end of the year
* "Look at all of the amazing things people have done throughout the year!"
* End result could be giving a physical token of appreciation to contributors (e.g. a t-shirt)
* Item awarded based on a _static criteria_ (e.g. x number of thanks get a sticker, x number of thanks get a t-shirt, but at least one thanks gets a sticker)
One fear of this is avoiding comparing physical tokens / prizes among contributors. Some people make contributions in areas in ways others don't often see. A single, uniform prize might be best for this approach
Other concerns we had about this if we want to have a limit on the number of badges / thanks someone could give in a set period (annually or release cycle). Additionally, we were also wanting to be aware that some people want to give an anonymous thanks to other users. We also thought a minimum character limit would be helpful to encourage someone to write something meaningful.
#### Potential badges mockup
This will require a specific ticket to Tahrir and review by Sayan. We'll bring it to them soon, but for now, see the attached whiteboard mockups of how this might look. Obviously, it needs refinement. Each number corresponds to the 1-2-3 goals listed above.

[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #3 `Guidelines for reporting Code of Conduct violations`
by Pagure
meskarune added a new comment to an issue you are following:
``
I like the idea of a git repo with issues. People could attach logs, screenshots and other documentation so its easier to keep records. I think a single point of contact to help coordinate CoC issues would be very helpful, but having a list of moderators would also be helpful for the coordinator. I don't know if fedora has an email like abuse@fedora or if people on the IRC and forums already have reporting systems in place. If there are already per-exstisting ways to report problems on various platforms they should be documented in a way that is easy for someone to find and use.

[diversity] Fedora Diversity Survey
by Bhagyashree Uday
Hi everyone,
Diversity FAD proposal in Brno from Jan 26- Jan 30 2017 has been accepted
and we have about two months to go! We will be working on Diversity Survey
for Fedora community amongst other things and we have a few points to look
into before the FAD. It was decided in one of the previous meetings, that
we will look into two major points before FAD :
1. Talking to Fedora Infra team about getting the survey live on cloud for
testing.
2. Trying out the survey by test participants for suggesting and improving
it.
Here are a few things I think we should look into regarding the survey:
1. Right now we have questions related to capturing demographic information
of Fedora community, diversity and inclusion related experiences and
diversity and inclusion practices and how are they helping in Fedora. Any
other suggestions for topics we should questions on ?
2. The questions need to be directed and focused to elicit responses from
the community. A general question like 'Do you feel Fedora is committed to
supporting diversity and inclusion?' needs understanding of terms
'diversity' and 'inclusion' from survey participant. Instead, we can ask
questions like 'Do you feel included in Fedora community?' and 'Have you
seen any instances of discrimination against minorities in Fedora
community?'. I feel such questions are more likely to get experiences and
memories as responses and do not require prior information about what
diversity and inclusion means.
3. I feel if we could collaborate together on these survey questions it
would be of great help as what maybe obvious to me, may not be obvious to
someone else and we are more likely to learn pitfalls this way. It will
help reduce the vagueness and improve the way we can frame questions to get
better responses. Maybe we could have a session where we question every
question we are trying to propose in the diversity survey ? However, it
should be done before Fedora Infra puts up the live testing instance for
survey.
4. Many contributors are not aware of existence of an active Fedora
Diversity Team. I was thinking before we conduct the survey, we write an
introductory blog post about Fedora diversity team on Community Blog so
people become familiar with terms like diversity and inclusion, what they
mean in Fedora community, the team and what we are trying to do.
5. Can we also ask for suggestions about areas where should Fedora
Diversity Team look into in near future from survey participants ?
6. I understand that every question in the survey should be optional for
people to have a choice whether they want to share that information with
Fedora or not. However, instead of making all questions optional, maybe we
can instead add another option like 'I prefer not to disclose' for some
selective choice-based questions. This is better from a statistical point
of view. For example, for question regarding gender of a participant -
maybe along with other options 'Male', 'Female' , 'Trans', 'Other' etc we
also have another option 'I don't want to say'.
7. Can we also have other 'selected' participants (not limited to those
involved in Fedora Diversity team) to test and give feedback using live
version of survey before FAD ? I feel this would help bring to forefront
other problems which were really obvious to team members.
Looking to hear your thoughts on this and more on this later,
Best,
Bee
