[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #10: Next Diversity Panel Planning

by Justin W. Flory

jflory7 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` For all Flock planning consideration, until we have more official information, I found [this mailing list thread](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@lis... to be a valuable reference point. ## Talk Since the Diversity WG is one of the smaller initiatives in the Project, I see value in having a talk to introduce the Diversity Team, our goals, what we're doing, and what's on the horizon (more or less a refresh of the forthcoming Council report in #17 ). However, at Flock, we should aim to answer these questions: 1. **How is this talk focused on contributors? Why should contributors attend it? Which contributors should attend? How will this talk foster greater contribution to Fedora?** * Focused on the contributions and efforts within the Diversity WG * Worth attending to better understand this niche of the project, what the aims and objectives of the team are, and how others can get involved to help * Aims to bring greater contribution bringing more focus to the goals of the team and also to interest other contributors from the community by seeing first-hand what we do (with the hope of on-boarding new contributors) 2. **What actions will you be taking as a result of the feedback you receive on this talk? What actions are you looking for your audience to take?** * Feedback gained will be helpful to get input that isn't normally received on a regular basis from mailing list activity, IRC discussion, and meetings * Hoping for audience members to bring their own perspectives to see the work we're doing and to offer their views and input on these topics (would also be a goal to possibly on-board new team members into the WG during or after Flock) ## Workshop / mini-FAD I think this is strongly dependent on what we learn about how Flock is organized this year, but from the same email thread linked above, I think a FAD-style workshop on one of the days could be an effective way for us to maximize our time together at Flock to make significant strides on a select number of issues (one or two) that would benefit by having us in the same room, especially with others whose input we might not normally have. The first goals I would consider for workshop planning is picking priority tasks that we believe would benefit from: 1. Core team members in the same room 2. Participation from non-members who might have a lot of input on specific topics `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/10

So long as we actively remember to add important notes into IRC, I see this as a good compromise too, for people who may want to participate but are limited by bandwidth for an audio/video call. I suggest we make this change for the May 3rd meeting (and also adjust our time back to 12:00 UTC, starting on April 19). I will adjust the time in Fedocal for this now. >> >> >> Best regards, >> Radka >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> *Radka Janeková* >> *radka.janek(a)redhat.com <mailto:radka.janek@redhat.com>* >> >> >> On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 2:37 PM, Justin W.

[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #3: Guidelines for reporting Code of Conduct violations

by Bhagyashree Padalkar

bee2502 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` I am not closing this ticket yet (but blocking this instead) as I feel that Diversity and Inclusion team should still be involved. My reasoning for this is mainly that there are some events which do not constitute as a CoC violation and yet they are such that lead to deterioration of inclusiveness of a community. Building an environment such that every Fedora community member feels included irrespective of their background, race, gender, demographic factors etc. is one of the Diversity team's goals and to achieve this - feedback is extremely important. I feel that the Diversity team should still work towards building such a safe space for community members where feedback is possible, extremely important and more importantly every community members' experiences are heard - whether good or bad. I would love to hear the thoughts of Diversity team as well as the Fedora community on this. `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/3

[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #9: Create video or a series of videos to spread awareness about Fedora Diversity

by Bhagyashree Padalkar

bee2502 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` @jflory7 and I had some discussion about this. Before we take any concrete steps further, we need to re evaluate the scope of this project, what we want and how we will use it. Is this something immediate we plan to do before the end of this year ? Since @tatica might not be available for a while now, who would be helping us with the video creation instead ? If this is an immediate goal, should we put out a call for help from the community ? This seems beyond scope unless we have someone with video editing skills. What content do we want in the video ? Is it just pictures or also video snippets of community members and if we don't have it already, how will it be collected ? `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/9
