Hi team,
As part of the contributor recruitment plan[1] we've come up with, D&I
was volunteered to be one of the initial focus areas. We're still
building out the specifics of the plan, but what we need from you is
to know what you need new contributors to help with. This can be a
link to easyfix tickets, particular skills you need, or wishlist items
you can't get to because you lack the contributor time. If I were
doing this for program management, I might include:
* Python developers, particularly with Bugzilla experience
* Technical writers
* Someone who can write a bespoke webapp to track change proposals
through the lifecycle

This is tricky because I don't think this team has defined clear
participation guidelines. Part of what motivated these tickets:
https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/2
https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/65
https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/128
Fedora Women's Day event organizing is the most structured participation
we have. Otherwise, I think the most valuable thing to help Fedora D&I
is to better understand the community's expectations and needs from this
team.
The demographic survey was where we spent the most time and resources to
help our team with this, but it is blocked by Red Hat Legal for over
three years now.
