Just a few rough notes - please add your updates/corrections - see also https://diversity.apache.org/

How do we continue these BOF conversation in the future?  Slack or mailing list - opinions on both sides.


How do we make people (of any background/type/culture/language) feel welcome?

  • Lot of discussion about being very inclusive in various perspectives.
  • Ideas: how can we ensure that projects provide at least some way ot translate their projects, so that non-native English speakers can feel more comfortable to get started.
  • Idea: use good-first-issue tags on various issues/roadmaps, signposting easy places new contributors could join.
    • Existing kinds of tags in other projects: https://goodfirstissue.dev/ https://goodfirstissues.com/ and various other places on github like: https://github.com/topics/good-first-issue
    • Are there other kinds of tags that would be useful, like docs-wanted, or editing-wanted, or the like?
    • How can we make it easier for various ASF projects to adopt these kinds of tags?  Each community is a separate one, so we need really simple ways to explain to them how to do this, why it's important, and how easy it can be.
  • Idea: how can the ASF as a whole better showcase the projects that do actually actively reach out for new people, that have good-first-issue tags, etc. - projects that are truly welcoming and want to find newcomers.  How can we create a simple "these ASF projects are welcoming, try them!" page?  How can we - in an organized fashion - do a better job of sharing the good examples of inclusion with other projects that might not quite do as good a job?  How do we make it easy for a PMC to understand the importance, and then take a few simple but concrete steps to make incremental improvements?
