[fedora-d&i] Flock session: A coffee among friends
by María Leandro 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello all! long time :) Having Flock so close, and after read the article sent to the group by Justin [1] about microaggressions in the workplace, it might be a good idea to have some private sessions with those who feel affected by the Fedora overall environment somehow. It's true that a lot of times people committing aggression isn't aware of those, maybe by language, culture or some other factors; and having people from all around the world would be a great idea to approach this knowledge and have a way to measure real cases. People feel vulnerable more than we even realize, specially when their work (name them contributions) are public and easy to follow. So here's the general Idea: Who would be benefit of? * D&I team would be able to gather 1:1 info from real cases, real experiences since survey system haven't been a viable solution "yet". * People with real struggles would find a familiar face where to lay part of their struggles and open up (hopefully) * Fedora community CoC and how we handle events could benefit from the information gathered. * Not only people affected, but 3rd parties friends who know cases and victims, can work as bridges into knowing those experiences. * The better the info, the better we can help. Worst case scenario? And potential solutions... * People is to afraid to show up in person and talk about their experiences: Here comes some main points. - Who: Having a familiar face could be the break point for some people, so it's "a must" to have people who have been long term contributors into the D&I or the Fedora environment and have proven to be non-conflict, easy listeners and at least good and fluent with English so nothing gets lost in translation. - Where: Having a personal meeting would make it easier to be recognized by others, and this bring a new difficulty, however, there are ways to address this: Option A: Share a casual coffee with your listener, so it's not an uncomfortable interview. Option B: Have a chat table, so you can just write your thoughts but being closer for a friendly support if needed. Option C: No personal interaction, but host a meeting at the end of Flock to discuss the info gathered without disclosing personal info, or details about the info gathered. - How: The most important part of the idea is to let people know they will be in a safes pace with someone who won't emit judges or give advice, we are only listeners trying to understand better how we can keep improving the overall social health of the community. So again, here are some ideas on how we could let people feel safe into contacting us: Option A: A general call for contributions where those who are interested into share information can send a private email, so no names or anything will be public. Option B: A point of contact or person of contact (probably someone with a special tag or something so again, is not a noticeable spot where others can feel judged) they can reach for a coffee (please have a coffee/tea spot). Option C: A note box. A nice option would include to have a box where people can write their experiences, suggestions and more, and just place them in a safe box where no names would be seen at all. completely anonymous, and again, read them all and discuss with the lesser details how that can help us improve. - Fedora Map: It would also be a great (and weird) idea to have somehow of a world map where people could just put a post it or a sticker on how they feel according to: ' Overall joy of being a worldwide Fedora member ' How comfortable fo you feel with your regional community? ' Are you comfortable with your regional group? ' Do you have a nice and smooth interaction inside the Teams you're part of? Anyway... long email, but do any of these ideas ring a bell to you? Does this sounds like a good idea to start collecting real information about the social health of Fedora community?

So again, here are some ideas on how we could let people feel safe into contacting us: Option A: A general call for contributions where those who are interested into share information can send a private email, so no names or anything will be public. Option B: A point of contact or person of contact (probably someone with a special tag or something so again, is not a noticeable spot where others can feel judged) they can reach for a coffee (please have a coffee/tea spot). Option C: A note box. A nice option would include to have a box where people can write their experiences, suggestions and more, and just place them in a safe box where no names would be seen at all. completely anonymous, and again, read them all and discuss with the lesser details how that can help us improve. - Fedora Map: It would also be a great (and weird) idea to have somehow of a world map where people could just put a post it or a sticker on how they feel according to: ' Overall joy of being a worldwide Fedora member ' How comfortable fo you feel with your regional community? ' Are you comfortable with your regional group? ' Do you have a nice and smooth interaction inside the Teams you're part of? Anyway... long email, but do any of these ideas ring a bell to you? Does this sounds like a good idea to start collecting real information about the social health of Fedora community?

I thought this was a blog post worth sharing. This comes from Otter Tech, a firm that provides diversity and inclusion consulting (with specific experience working in open source communities). A blog post format of the forwarded email is here: https://otter.technology/blog/2019/05/23/why-train-multiple-code-of-conduct… -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Diversity Deep Dive: Why train multiple Code of Conduct enforcers? Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 14:00:53 +0000 From: Otter Tech <sharp(a)otter.technology> Diversity Deep Dive: Why train multiple Code of Conduct enforcers? Why train multiple Code of Conduct enforcers? CC-BY WOCinTech Chat When an community decides to adopt a Code of Conduct, one of the first things they should ask is “Who will enforce this Code of Conduct?” For most events and online communities, enforcement falls to one person. Typically the person is an event organizer, or a leader in the online community. It’s someone who cares deeply about making the event or community a welcoming place. They want to do things “right” but aren’t sure whether they need to have more people involved. It’s important that every event or online community, no matter how small, has at least two people who enforce a Code of Conduct. Here’s why. Conflicting Roles When you’re an event organizer, you rarely get to enjoy your own event. Most of your time is spent helping others, ensuring the event stays on track, and dealing with last minute fires. It can be hard if you’re an event organizer and you’re the only point of contact for people to make a Code of Conduct report. You’re running from place to place, talking quickly to other people, and you look… busy. Someone who wants to make a Code of Conduct report may decide that they don’t want to bother you. It can be helpful to have two event volunteers whose only job is to take Code of Conduct reports. You can have one incident responder available in a fixed location, while the second incident responder walks around event space, ready to take a report on the spot. Conflicts of interest If you’re involved in Code of Conduct enforcement in an online community, it’s typically because you care deeply about the community. You want to make the community a welcoming place. You probably know a lot of the community members. Unfortunately, it can cause problems if you’re a leader of an online community and you’re the only person enforcing the community Code of Conduct. If one of your long-time friends in the community were reported, you would be biased towards them when you evaluate the report. If your online community includes your clients or co-workers, you also have a bias towards them. Having two to three people involved in online community Code of Conduct enforcement allows the committee to address conflicts of interest. If one committee member has a platonic, romantic, or employment relationship with a reported person, there are two other people who can evaluate and follow up on the report. Bias Whether you run an event or an online community, you shouldn’t have only one person who evaluates Code of Conduct reports. Why? Because that one person has a specific life experience. The one person in charge of the Code of Conduct may not have experienced discrimination based on race, gender identity, or disability. They may face marginalization because of one part of their identity, but have privilege in other parts of their life. It can be hard for them to understand the impact of harassment or microaggressions if they’ve never experienced that type of discrimination before. Having multiple committee members evaluate a Code of Conduct report means everyone can contribute their lived experience. Having a diverse set of people enforcing a Code of Conduct is key to making a welcoming community for all people. Train Enforcers Whether you have one, two, or ten people taking Code of Conduct reports, it’s important to train them! Otter Tech provides online training for Code of Conduct enforcement. Our Incident Response workshop teaches people how to take a Code of Conduct report, how to evaluate a report, and how to follow up with a reported person. If you’re adding a new Code of Conduct committee member, now is the time to get them trained. *Attend our next online Code of Conduct Incident Response workshop on either **June 19* or **July 17*. **Purchase a ticket today!* <https://technology.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e9eb73b16dfce1922a354…>
