General Diversity Strategy
What is the overall goal? / Possible Mission Statement
"To make the ASF a culturally diverse and socially representative open source community"
What outcomes do we want?
- To increase diversity by attracting and welcoming all contributors including those from under-represented groups to the ASF
- To retain diversity by maintaining a healthy, positive and socially dynamic environment where all groups feel safe, welcome and appreciated
- To actively monitor diversity within the ASF and if necessary apply strategies to encourage and attract under-represented groups
How can we achieve these outcomes?

- Promote and talk about Apache and its culture through Social Media, Blogging,
- Marketing material (leaflets, stickers, swag..)
- Outreachy
