[fedora-d&i] Flock session: A coffee among friends
by María Leandro
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?
