Diversity Working Group

Status: Active

Organisers: Imad Sousou (imad.sousou@intel.com), Egle Sigler (ushnishtha@hotmail.com), Kavit Munshi (Kavit@aptira.com)

Charter (working draft)

In an effort to assert and facilitate the incorporation of diversity policies into its overall strategy, the Board of Directors of the OpenStack Foundation is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming place for all people to collaborate and drive innovation and design cutting-edge data center capabilities that provide solutions for our most pressing challenges.

This work group will sponsor and create programs that encourage diversity by identifying and removing the barriers that keep us from having a diverse, thriving community. The programs defined by this work group will apply to the Board of Directors, OpenStack Foundation, Technical Committee, PTLs, Developers and the entire OpenStack Community. Each program will have specific success metrics and the work group will provide regular updates on all programs to the Board as well as the Community.

Programs sponsored and/or created by the Diversity Work Group may require Board of Directors approval. The work group will review existing Foundation programs and policies on a regular basis to evaluate their performance and effectiveness. The work group will collaborate with the TC, User committee and the BoD to ensure that all programs are meeting their diversity goals.

Diversity is defined as all the ways people differ from one another including race, color, religion, gender identity and expression, national origin, language, ancestry, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation and other aspects. This includes elements such as personal background, experiences, education, thinking processes, approaches to problem solving and life experiences. The differences range from subtle nuances to very clear points of difference – this is the nature of diversity.
