WOO Initiatives
Identified Challenges & Suggested Solutions
Sign up to volunteer here!
(takeaways from the May 2015 Vancouver Summit)
Group | Challenge | Suggested Next Steps |
---|---|---|
1 | Need more women PTLs and need to support women who want to grow as technical contributors | Find ways to support women to be recognized as technical leaders. Example: travel funding for women to attend OpenStack summits |
2 | Not enough women in the OpenStack community | Attract women to the OpenStack community and support them to remain active in the community. Example: mentorship of women to achieve technical leadership roles |
3 | Women need support and practice to more confidently communicate in meetings or in larger groups | Webinar on how to participate more effectively in meetings. Example: role play meeting scenarios, help women gain confidence and practice to ask questions during a Tokyo summit talk |
4 | Need to support higher inclusion of women in the OpenStack community | Workshop to develop leadership soft skills, encourage inclusion, recognize regional gaps in communication, celebrate the successes of women in the OpenStack community |
5 | Need women leaders to be more visible in the OpenStack main tent sessions | Have a woman keynote speaker, more women participate in panel discussions. Support women with speaker training and creating a pipeline of speaking opportunities for them. |
6 | Need a supportive and interactive environment for women to come together and support one another with the OpenStack community | Create a private IRC channel for the Women of OpenStack, opportunities to seek and find mentors more naturally based on technology and areas of interest |
7 | Need a platform to encourage informal mentoring and networking | Reward and recognize mentorship as a key skill that is important as other technical skills |
