[fedora-d&i] European Language Examples

[Brian (bex) Exelbierd]

Hi,

For an unrelated project, someone collected some European diversity
language examples.  I thought these might be useful to us as we
continue to tune our own messaging:

Diversity language at European conferences

EuroPython

In CFP: “The Program WG will also set aside a number of slots which
they will then select based on other criteria to e.g. increase
diversity or give a chance to less mainstream topics.”

In Financial Aid info: Criteria for grant eligibility:

Contributors: potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (people who
submitted a proposal) and all who contribute to EuroPython and/or
Python community projects.

Economic factors: we want everybody to have a chance to come to
EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.

Diversity: we seek the most diverse and inclusive event possible.

Monki Gras diversity and inclusion programme: “designed to support
folks from under-represented groups”...”We want to lower barriers to
participation, and help create opportunities for people. Our
definition of under-represented groups in tech is intentionally wide.
We don’t exclude anyone on the basis of ability, class, colour, gender
or creed.”

PyCon CZ Financial Aid info: “This structure enables us to include
major diversity and outreach programmes such as DjangoGirls”... “This
way, the process attempts to promote a more diverse community event.”

DockerCon Barcelona Diversity Scholarships: “By actively promoting
diversity of all kinds, our goal is make DockerCon a safe place for
all to learn, belong and collaborate.” “The DockerCon Diversity
Scholarship aims to provide the opportunity for members of
underrepresented groups to attend DockerCon without the barrier of
financial strain.”

Open Source Summit Europe Diversity Scholarships: “The Linux
Foundation’s diversity scholarship program provides support to those
from traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized groups in the
technology and/or open source communities (including, but not limited
to: persons identifying as LGBTQ+, women, persons of color, and/or
persons with disabilities) who may not otherwise have the opportunity
to attend Linux Foundation events for financial reasons.”
