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 experiences. The differences range from subtle nuances to very clear points of difference – this is the nature of diversity.

Diversity Working Group

Status: Active

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

Charter

In an effort to assert and facilitate the incorporation of diversity policies into its overall strategy, the Board of Directors of the OpenStack Foundation (“Board”) 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 working 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 recommended by this working group will apply to the Board, OpenStack Foundation, Technical Committee, PTLs, Developers and the entire OpenStack Community. Each program will have specific success metrics and the working group will provide regular updates on all programs to the Board as well as the Community.

The diversity working group, like other Board committees, will be supervised by the Board who will have authority to approve its proposals. The Board may choose to exercise such authority by setting guidelines for the scope and implementation of such programs. The working group will review existing Foundation programs and policies on a regular basis to evaluate their performance and effectiveness. The working group will collaborate with the TC, User committee and the BoD to ensure that all programs are meeting their diversity goals.

Agenda

  • Roll Call
  • Final review of the survey:
    • How long will the survey be available? One week?
    • When will we get the survey results back? Ideally 1-2 weeks ahead of the Summit, so we can integrate the data into content.
  • Messaging at Tokyo Summit:
    • Please review and edit this etherpad as appropriate: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Diversity_WG_Tokyo_Messaging
    • We have the opportunity to define some core messaging and call-to-action around Diversity and have it used in multiple forums (keynotes, sessions, work group meetings, etc). You can find a starting point at the link above, please help improve it!
  • Geo Diversity Update: What’s the status of getting more geographic participation in this work group?
