Hey all,
On #fedora-divesity we were thinking of ideas of what we can talk about on diversity, if
we are having a Diversity panel or a talk, on FOSS and Diversity and how Fedora is
promoting gender equality
Here are some ideas from Justin W. Flory and Amita:-
* Detailing some of the outreach efforts to include more women in open source and Fedora
* Challenges with bringing more women into the community
* What we could do to help make that easier across the project
* Amita's slides from her talk on Women in Open Source is a good example for
introducing diversity efforts in open source
* Diversity Team and initiative in Fedora- Why it was founded, what some of the goals are,
and why these are important to focus on as a team, a project, a community actively
participating in the greater realm of open source software.
If anyone have more ideas, can add on this thread :)
Thanks and Regards

Hi Kanika, thanks for starting this thread! :)
I think it will probably be important to figure out the format for this
talk quickly. The possibilities of a panel will likely depend on who all
is available to participate - it would great if Amita were in attendance
too, but I think she is still uncertain?
If there are enough people where we could plan it or map it out now, I
think a panel would be a great idea - it proved to be successful and
popular at Flock.
As for content, I do think Amita's slides for this would be a helpful
resource, although it seems like the link for those is dead:
https://speakerdeck.com/ami_117/women-in-opensource
Hopefully Amita will see this and can drop a link to wherever they might
be now. :)
For developing the content and main body of the talk (regardless of what
format it is), I think illuminating some of the difficulties faced by
women (and if a panel, any other represented groups) in open source and
Fedora is help to demonstrate what the challenges are. Following that,
maybe some "action items" for things we can actively do to help make the
project a more welcoming and inviting place by dealing with those
struggles. Or in other words, the call to action for how attendees can
make changes or know how to improve on their own.
Just some more thoughts… :)

Let's prepare for one
(panel) and purpose. We can always participate
remotely in case not present physically in the worst case.
If there are enough people where we could plan it or map it out now, I
think a panel would be a great idea - it proved to be successful and
popular at Flock.
+100 here.
As for content, I do think Amita's slides for this would be a helpful
resource, although it seems like the link for those is dead:
https://speakerdeck.com/ami_117/women-in-opensource
Gave an injection of life,
should be working now.
Hopefully Amita will see this and can drop a link to wherever they

Watching
the flock videos for panel and diversity talk. Also, organizing
such event locally will give more insight.

Is there anyone else on list who will be attending FUDCon APAC and
willing to participate? If a panel is the way we want to go, I think we
should work on compiling some participants as soon as possible! It would
*also* be cool if we could plan for remote participation by tatica and
maybe others if (1) bandwidth permits, and (2) time zone permits.
It would be great if someone could help spearhead this and reach out to
some people who will be attending and are interested in participating. :)

Unfortunately, the diversity panel recording is MIA (along with a lot of
other talks from the Picasso room at Flock… hopefully it will end up
turning up. :(

It would be great if someone could post to this list what the goals for
the talk were that were shared on #fedora-diversity. It is much easier
to brainstorm ideas for specific goals instead of just "diversity talk."
Is there anyone else on list who will be attending FUDCon APAC and
willing to participate? If a panel is the way we want to go, I think we
should work on compiling some participants as soon as possible! It would
*also* be cool if we could plan for remote participation by tatica and
maybe others if (1) bandwidth permits, and (2) time zone permits.
I believe it is important to reach out to the FUDCon APAC organizers now
about bandwidth. This is part of a larger barcamp, iirc so their
ability to provide resources may be limited.
I will be there. If my presence is helpful and if I am able to speak
appropriately regading the goals above, I will be happy to participate.
Thank you.

+1. I
had a discussion with Kanika, this morning, She is going to draft
that soon, and we all can help shaping it further.

yeah, that was the idea I have tossed,
plus it will be helpful, if we
can have the tentative speakers list. So that, we can have the
participants for the panel.
I will be there. If my presence is helpful and if I am able to speak
appropriately regading the goals above, I will be happy to participate.
That is
great. We will be glad to have you as a panelist.
Thanks & Regards,
Amita
