_More details about each topic:_
+ Introduction:
A short intro so we know better each other =)
+ Engagement strategy to grow D&I team:
Would be great to have new people joining our team. Either proposing new
ideas or helping with the existing ones.
(Ticket #65, #100)
+ Creating a process to select the D&I Council Representative and Team Lead:
We should have a clear policy and process for electing the D&I Council
Rep and team lead.
(Ticket #89)
+ D&I team decision-making process:
Creating a decision-making process for our team. When to have Lazy
Approval or Full Consensus, what conditions etc.
(Ticket #98)
+ Language Inclusion in our community:
Language is one of the biggest barriers to contribute to open source. We
should coordinate efforts with translation teams to make Fedora more
language inclusive - especially related to our outreach and awareness
efforts. We should determine what content in our community (Fedora
Magazine/Community Blog/etc) we feel must be multilingual and
collaborate with the L10n team to translate it. What should be the process?
(Related tickets #33 and #97)
+ Event organization best practices guide for D&I at Fedora events:
Tips to make our events more inclusive. At Flock 2018 we discussed it
and we decided to have more "How to/what signs etc" rather than
explaining why it's important to have it - because it is easier for the
event organizers.
What changes we have done until now and the next steps.
(Ticket #54)
+ Fedora Classroom Sessions from D&I Team:
Meskarune suggested having a class on accessibility in Fedora. She
suggested talking with blind and deaf Fedora users to see how they use
Fedora. The class could talk about accessibility tools available in the
OS as well as ways to make things like information resources and media
more accessible. There are a lot of different ways you can go with
covering accessibility. In order to do this I propose to start with some
research, maybe also write an article on Fedora Magazine so we can have
feedback and help from people that use Fedora and then write a wrap-up
regarding the research and suggestions how we can make Fedora more
accessible.
(Ticket #60)
+ Fedora Women's Day 2019:
We have started to talk about FWD 2019 and we had our first call about
it. Next steps are to have a wrap-up from last year, contacting the
organizers of FWD'18 to have feedback from them what didn't go well so
we can improve it, adjust the goals for FWD this year.
(Ticket #94)
+ Flock 2019:
What talk/workshop will we propose this year at Flock? An idea we
already have: Speak a non-native language event - Ticket #91.
+ D&I Project in Taiga:
Ticket #99
+ Open Floor:
Time to hear new ideas/what we can improve and do better in our community =)
If you want to add something else on the agenda please let me know.
See you all on Sunday.
