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.
