## Activity:

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

  • Round "May 2021 - August 2021". The internship period is from May 24, 2021, to August 24, 2021. For this round, we are working with one intern. [1][2] and one mentor, Justin Ross, on the project "Implement distributed tracing for Qpid Proton C++". 

  • Mid-point feedback was provided by the mentor on July 5, 2021. There are 2 weeks remaining on the internship. 

*** Project: Website 

  • No updates. [3]

*** Topic: Criteria for inclusive words

  • This is Daniel Gruno's initiative, CLC (Conscious Language Checker) for Apache projects. We would like to encourage you to participate, 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.  
  • We would like to create a blog post about this project for an external audience, we believe this project can be used in places outside the PMC. We are receiving help from Joe Brockmeier, Greg Stein, and Andrew Wetmore.

*** Operations

  • FY2021: Katia will receive information about the budget to make plans for the rest of the FY. 

*** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors ***

  • The goal of this second part of the project is to make actionable recommendations for ASF projects to spread the lessons learned. We will start with one ASF project (PMC) and one approach for improvements.
  • Action items and progress:
    • Approve final Report of the Community Survey & Contributor Experience: Joe Brockmeier is helping us with the report and its publication. We will meet Bitergia to analyze our strategy in the next weeks. 
    • Identify PMC that could participate in the second part of the research project to test one improvement approach: the potential PMC to start the project is Apache Beam, we are opening the discussions with Brittany Hermann. 
    • Select one improvement approach: no updates. 
    • Review contract and sign: Katia will sign the contract. We are pending for one last discussion with Brittany Hermann from Google related to the budget. 

## Committee members changes:
