Q1 of FY2022 focused on planning the next steps for the user experience research on contributors of underrepresented groups and identifying potential sponsors for the Outreachy program for the following 2 rounds. Below is a breakdown of these achievements.
Planning the next steps for the user experience research on contributors of underrepresented groups (D&I at the ASF)
This project was composed of two initiatives: The ASF Community Survey and a User Experience Research for contributors of underrepresented groups. From these two initiatives, we obtained valuable information that will be used in the second part of the project.
The goal of the 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 in progress:
- Approve final Report of the Community Survey & Contributor Experience.
- Identify PMC that could participate in the second part of the research project to test one improvement approach.
- Select one improvement approach. We have 3 recommendations from Bitergia.
- Contract and budget.

Q3 of FY2021 focused on wrapping up the first research on the current status of D&I at the ASF, securing funds for one more year of Outreachy internships, and planning for FY2022. Below is a breakdown of these accomplishments.
Wrapping the 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. These two initiatives concluded in Q2 and we have a final draft https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=173087952 to be published in multiple channels, such as research publications and conferences like ApacheCon.
Continuing the internships for underrepresented groups through Outreachy.org
The third period of Outreachy internships is underway and we have six interns for six different Apache projects https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/2020-11-25+Outreachy+Meeting+notes . We secured $52,000 in sponsorship from Google to continue with this program for one more year. The sponsorship will be processed in March 2021.
FY2022 planning
The findings and recommendations from the research completed in FY2021 will be the platform for taking action in FY2022. The D&I committee will have the following goals in FY2022:
- Act on the findings and recommendations from the research done in FY2021
- Continue the Outreachy Internships
- Re-application of the community survey to measure changes since the survey was last done in 2020.
The ultimate objective is to scope and define a project that will help us take the current state of D&I at the ASF to better neights. We will partner with Bitergia again, this is the firm that conducted the research and ran the ASF community survey in 2020. One of the alternatives we’re strongly considering is the creation of a program that helps podlings in the incubator develop strong practices for inclusion, enabling the projects to be diverse from the moment they graduate from incubation. This is still one are of consideration, and we’ll have the final selection by the end of the quarter.
