## Activity:

*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ***

• Currently working on the round "May 2021 - August 2021". The internship period is from May 24, 2021, to August 24, 2021. [1]
• We are on the week 3 of the internship: progressing as expected. 
• We requested the mentor to provide feedback of the ongoing internship. 

*** Project: Website 

• The discussion opened in the mailing list has been inactive for almost a month [2]. We are not able to find any webmasters to help us developing or maintaining the technical or design parts of the website.
• The next step will be to discuss a possible contractor involvement. 

*** Topic: Criteria for inclusive words

• Daniel Gruno asked for lazy consensus for a VM with the purpose of  setting up a CLC (Conscious Language Checker) for Apache projects.
• The lazy cosensus was obtained and the VM is up and running at https://clc.diversity.apache.org/ and has ASF Oauth implemented, so any committer can make use of the service.
• Daniel has added few projects to try things out, and according to his feedback, it seems to work.[3]
• Next steps: figure out how to communicate this to all projects in a way that is well percived, so they can make use of it?

*** Operations

• Onboarding on D&I VP tasks: Katia Rojas had an onboarding meeting with Gris Cuevas, David Nalley and Ruth Suehle.
