THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
This section contains some project drafts and other ideas that come up during discussions.
If you find something interesting that you can contribute, please volunteer at dev@diversity.apache.org!
Podcast Interviews
- Create some episodes on the FeatherCast (https://feathercast.apache.org/) about diversity and inclusion.
- Rich Bowen is responsible for the podcast. We can reach him to set a schedule once we have a list of interested people to participate.
Mentoring in the Diversity initiative
- If we have mentors that represent a minority, it can increase the representativity and make others more comfortable to join.
- Many people from minority groups don't know or are afraid to start by themselves. Having someone to help take the first step is a well-known way to achieve a more diverse community (ASyncAPI case)
- We could create a program to mentor people about where to start in tech, career advisors, indication of projects to volunteer, etc.
Collab with the ASyncAPI community for a mentoring program
- The ASyncAPI is a community that connect many API developers around the world. They are growing and have good DEI mindset, and some good success cases we can get inspired.
- Some folks on their community would love to contribute to Apache, but they think the org is "to big" and don't know where to start.
- We could create a mentoring project to help them to identify which projects they can start volunteering.
