[diversity] Breaking the code: how women in Nigeria are changing the face of tech

by Justin W. Flory

Hey all! While not strictly related to Fedora, I stumbled across this interesting article about women in tech in Nigeria. From past in-person discussions, I know we recognized this was one group seemingly absent in the Fedora community (contributors from Africa generally), and we were trying to figure out why. I thought this might be an interesting read to share. Also, did you know one of the co-founders of Free Software and Open Source Foundation for Africa (FOSSFA) was a woman? Had no idea. :) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/14/breaking-the-code-ho... -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[diversity] introduction Renate extensive

by Renate renate

Hi again, Maybe I should introduce myself more extensive. I've also joined the Telegram group. I was interested in contributing to Fedora because some people in my network had interest in Linux but did not know how to start. I love Fedora (and think it's a great OS for new users) so I wanted to help them but did not find enough Dutch articles for them to read. Also because their knowledge of a computer is really really basic. Then I saw that linux and Fedora in particular, has way better accessibility for disabled people then other operating systems. I use Linux since about 13 years so I didn't know how big the difference was. I didn't get why healthy people don't use a Linux-variant but now I know how much Fedora can mean for you if you have a disability I really don't know why people hesitate. It can bring so much! So I want to write some really easy howto's in Dutch about Fedora and publice them on my site. That made me wonder if I couldn't join some other contributors. And here I am! Still getting my way through all this, takes a while but easy does it :) Renate

[diversity] FWD event page wiki + budget ticket idea

by Justin W. Flory

Hi all, I had a chance to go through the meeting minutes and saw some of the discussion about requesting event organizers to create wiki pages and file budget tickets for their events in the Diversity Pagure. I think this will help, but I thought it might be helpful for us to save time and effort by trying to follow the existing Ambassador event guidelines as much as possible. They are somewhat different from region to region, but I think we can follow a standard format. Before event organizers come to us with a budget request for an event, I would like to suggest a minimum set of requirements before requesting funds. (1) Completed wiki page with key event details, including: * Date, location, time * Short agenda / itinerary * Deadlines for organization, if any * Summary of budget (see below) (2) Estimated total budget for event, including: * Shipping costs * Merchandise production costs, if any * Travel funding, if any * Basic event costs (e.g. food / drinks) * Other misc. costs (3) Short explanation of what an organizer hopes to accomplish with their event Most of these guidelines follow the existing process for most regions, so it will also be more familiar for Ambassadors who are organizing a FWD event. Also, maybe even more importantly, it helps _us_ with reviewing these tickets and sets a precedent for how the events are organized. As an example wiki page, you can see one from an event I organized in 2016. There's more specific details that we wouldn't need for our event, but you can probably get the idea: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RIT_BrickHack/2016 I'd be curious to know what others think about this idea. If it sounds good, I would be able to work on an event template over the weekend, which we could then share with event organizers. If the Community Blog is back up and working soon… https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedora... …we can include a link to the wiki template with the post on Monday, so event organizers can have this when they start their own planning process. Thoughts? -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
