Last year, after three months of qualitative and quantitative research, Mozilla published a series of [recommendations for D&I in open source](https://opensource.com/article/17/9/diversity-and-inclusion-innov.... Since this time, the Mozilla team has been busy implementing many of those in our work — like these [new principles for inclusive volunteer leadership](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/what-s-next-for-volunteer-lea..., [processes for effectively responding to Community Participation Guideline Reports](https://github.com/mozilla/diversity/issues/73) and investment in [Metrics that Matter](https://github.com/mozilla/diversity/issues/53) for D&I in [Open Source](https://drnikki.github.io/sphinx-ghpages/index.html). To name only a few.
## Let’s Work Together!
One thing we heard over, and over again in our research was the belief that to move the needle on diversity in open source — and tech overall, we must move to be more intentional in our collaboration across projects and communities.
To explore this concept, I’ll be sharing the insights from our recent D&I in FOSS survey in the launch of our first D&I in Open Source Community Call! February 28th 9AM PST ([your time](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20180228T...)
With over 200 projects represented, we learned a lot… not only from responses, but from the challenge of creating an inclusive survey — with privacy, respect and safety of people at center.
Please [join this first call](https://calendly.com/eirwin/d-i-in-open-source-community-call/02-28... to help shape what comes next. What are you working on, what do you need help with? What speakers would you like to see invited?

[diversity] LibrePlanet'2018 Conference
by A. Mani
The Free Software Foundation's LibrePlanet 2018 conference, coming up at
MIT in
Cambridge, MA on March 24-25.
_____________________FWD__________
LibrePlanet is an annual conference for free software enthusiasts,
bringing together software developers, policy experts, activists and
computer users to learn skills, share accomplishments, and face
challenges to software freedom. Newcomers are always welcome, and
LibrePlanet 2018 will feature programming for all ages and experience
levels. FSF members and students attend gratis. Learn more at
https://libreplanet.org/2018; register at
https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=71.
LibrePlanet's 10th anniversary theme is "Freedom. Embedded." Consider:
embedded systems are everywhere, in cars, digital watches, traffic
lights, and even within our bodies. Right now, proprietary software is
everywhere, its sinister aspects embedded in software, digital devices,
and our lives. We've come to expect that our phones monitor our activity
and share that data with big companies, governments enforce digital
restrictions management (DRM), and even our activity on social Web sites
is out of our control.
In a society reliant on embedded systems, how do we defend computer user
freedom? How do we insist on copylefted code, protect ourselves against
government and corporate surveillance, and move toward a freer world?
For many people, digital freedom seems like a pipe dream. Can we change
the narrative and make free software the norm, instead of walled
gardens, denial of the right to repair, and DRM?
Let's envision freedom embedded together.

[diversity] D&I in Open Source Call
by Emma Irwin
Hi everyone,
On February 28th, we're hosting our first 'D&I in Open Source Community
Call'
<https://medium.com/@sunnydeveloper/new-diversity-inclusion-in-open-source...>,
where we will share the results of our D&I survey (which responses from
over 200 open projects) , including what we learned building it. We plan
to run this call every 3 weeks, to encourage cross-project collaboration in
d&i - I'm also going to look at adding value like expert speakers to the
call - but the first one is to get a sense of what would be valuable for
others.
Hope to see you there!
-Emma

[diversity] Expenses and Reimbursements through the end of the year
by Brian Exelbierd
Hi All,
I am sending this out to multiple lists to get it wide exposure. Red Hat let me know about the year end closing dates in an email yesterday. In order for me to be able to get our items resolved on time, I need to request the following:
1) All reimbursements must be filed and paid by 15 February. This means you have to get your trip reports done and the receipts uploaded in time for the regional card holders (or me) to get you reimbursed by that date. The money can be in flight to you, but must have been sent from the CC.
2) Card Holders, please stop using your cards on the 15th of February at the close of your day local time.
3) Community members who happen to be Red Hat employees should also have everything processed and communicated to me so that we can ensure that your paperwork is submitted by 15 February as well. This is because of the extra processing load in many regions for cost transfers.
These two actions are the best things we can do to ensure that our expenses land in this fiscal year and are not subtracted from our next fiscal year.
If you have events which are going to happen after 15 February or a reason why you cannot get reimbursements submitted until after that please contact me. I have more direct access to systems than the card holders do and may be able to help. However, in general, you should expect to see these late charges removed from any budget that is allocated next year.
As always, I am happy to help so don't hesitate to contact me.
regards,
bex
