I like this idea too. I think we can split it from the Flock
brainstorming and plan it for the next year. This could also be a great
question to ask during the 1x1 interviews, if people think they would
take advantage of something like this if we took the time to set it up.
Following discussion in other communities about engaging more people in
D&I efforts, this could be a useful way to build more feedback loops
into this team.
Yes, I will start writing a draft on how this interviews and following activities to gather information can happen, knowing that Survey is not an option (yet).

The D&I team needs a broad range of people helping and participating to
have the strongest impact. You brought this idea to the table and I
think you have the inspiration and motivation to see it through too. I
want to do what I can to support you in making this happen!
Please don't fall victim to imposter syndrome! The Flock staff consider
a broad range of criteria when making funding decisions. Your past
experience and knowledge of the Fedora community also brings a lot to
the table and I have a feeling you would not be sitting idle for the
conference. ;) Please consider to apply for travel funding. It would be
awesome to see you there and have all that you bring to the project and
community. :)
It happens when you know how everything works :)
Anyway, Just added the ticket with all the info. Please take a look since I named all the D&I Team to be part of this. This is a lot of work and a single person can't do it alone:
Do you think the proposal misses something?
