Hello again,
On February 28th, we're hosting our first 'D&I in Open Source Community
Call'
https://medium.com/@sunnydeveloper/new-diversity-inclusion-in-open-source-co...,
where we will share the survey results (will also post a blog shortly
after), including what we learned building it. The call itself we hope to
run every 3 weeks, to encourage cross-project collaboration - I'm also
going to look at adding value like expert speakers to the call - but the
first one is to get a sense of what would be valuable for others. Would
love to see someone from your group attend!
Thanks,
-Emma

Hi Arch Women ,
Someone in the Fedora women's list suggested I reach out.
My name is Emma, and I work on Diversity and Inclusion at Mozilla. Last year we invested in a lot of research to better understand https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/a-time-for-action-innovating-for-... what we mean by diversity and inclusion, with a number of recommendations coming out of that. Two of those recommendations were to build metrics that matter, https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/reflection-inclusive-organizing-f... and to invest in ways of collaborating with other individuals and open projects - to really generate change.
To those goals I want to ask *if you would be wiling to share our survey https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/diversity-inclusion-in-open-source-survey/23... *with your community, and whether anyone representing this group would be available for an interview with our researcher - who is looking into how we might form a collaborative for D&I in open source.
Thanks for your time, and of course happy to take questions or provide more information on our work! 2018 for sure is all about taking our research, and driving real change this year - would love to learn from you as well!
