This project was composed of two initiatives: The ASF Community Survey and a User Experience Research for contributors of underrepresented groups. These two initiatives concluded in Q2 and we have a final draft Final Draft of D&I Research to be published in multiple channels, such as research publications and conferences like ApacheCon. Worked together with a professional firm experienced in the study of open source communities to identifying influential factors on the contributor experience- The survey application was wrapped up with 622 completed responses.
- Interviewed participants that allowed us to deep dive into findings from the survey.
- .
- We recorded a read-out, which you can watch in our official YouTube channel https://s.apache.org/pnkzw , and read the slides shared in the D&I wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/**+Files+and+Resources .
- We conducted 19 one-on-one interviews, which provided insightful information on how we can help our community to ease the challenges experienced by contributors in our Apache community, especially those coming from under-represented backgrounds. You can find early results on these interviews in our public mailing list https://s.apache.org/ibs4z .
- [TO BE COFIRMED] Provided scientifically validated data on the state of D&I in the foundation. Wrote and submitted an academic paper for CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing) that was accepted?
- Sally: according to Gris's notes you are aware of this report. Do you know if it was accepted, I see that it was pending on publication but can we call this as an achievement, or is it still on in progress.
