## Description:
- The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team who contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I landscape in the industry and for the foundation. The team also focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in their communities.
## Issues:
Two points that are not really issues, but more reseting expectations:
- The feedback and decision making process to launch the survey has pushed the entire project by 2 months since the holidays get on the way of new deadlines. New Expected time for a full report on EDI analysis is May.
- Comms plan for D&I committee is on hold due to bandwidth to work on it and the survey. Focusing on the survey first.

*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ****** Operations ***
- We are working on the migration of previous meeting notes to Confluence to create a report that includes all action items, to make the process more transparent.
- The contributions period started on Oct. 1t and ended on Nov. 5th. Two projects out of three got contributions recorded. 5 contributions recorded in total. [2]
- We encounter some problem while attracting applicants to record contributions. We think that there could be two reasons for this: the skill level required in the project is too high, the wording of the project is a bit intimidating due to the technical language or unclear goals and/or high system requirements.
In order to address this issue, we took the following action:
- setup cheat sheet + more guided or explained tasks. Include this sheet in the project submission to guide applicants in their initial contributions. we've seen sometimes there is no time to address all queries/questions from applicants, therefore we could include this sheet to help them guide themselves. We opened a conversation to create a "Tooling training for ASF projects" [3].
- we need a more easy-to-start development environment. regarding applicants with less experience. In this case, it is hard to find a solution other than committing enough mentor time, which is hard to find. We opened a discussion. More details
- The period for the selection of interns start on Nov. 6th and ended on Nov. 14th. After rating contributions, one intern has been selected. [4]
- Friction log: we started working with the coordinators of the friction log of the Survey Design & Contributor Experience Research project. First draft of the friction log template has been shared on the mailing list dev@ [5].
