Encouraging Women to Participate in Apache Projects

Mailing List Ideas

  1. Emphasize ASF Code of Conduct on project websites
  2. Contact IT Womens Groups
  3. Setup / Define Benchmark measurement
  4. Tailor ASF website to handle women landing on various pages / guiding them through specific route & information
  5. Start a series of blog positive experience blog posts
  6. Start a series of Apachecon presentations themed on encouraging diversity

What do we want to achieve? / What is the overall goal?

General mission type statements eg

To make the ASF a culturally diverse and representative community

To increase the diversity of the ASF

What does diversity mean?

Diversity in gender? Ethnicity? Age? What else?

Main two are gender and ethnicity.

What are the objectives?

Increase involvement of under-represented groups in Apache projects

Attract under-represented groups to the ASF

Retain under-represented groups within the ASF (no use attracting new people if the older ones leave)

Maintain diversity as a reflection of "population diversity" or what else? (part of this is defining a level or taget of diversity the ASF want to reach, plus being able to monitor it to confirm it)

 

Possible Strategic Plan

Set a diversity goal / vision / target (e.g we want to have x% of xyz group by ????)

Identify the under-represented groups within the ASF

Measure / benchmark the current diversity level
