Research on the current status of Diversity and Inclusion at the ASF
- This project was composed of two initiatives: The ASF Community Survey and a User Experience Research for contributors of underrepresented groups.
- The survey application was wrapped up with 622 completed responses.
- 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 underrepresented backgrounds. You can find early results on these interviews in our public mailing list this document https://sdocs.apache.org/ibs4z . google.com/document/d/1aoCCrsWmE-Pp6kxiUgHJ9lTIrM3XQmX4nCDGJ7kyjCI/edit.
