Description
Open-source communities have long understood the value of inclusion, equality, and diversity in producing healthy and successful project communities. However, despite their best efforts, many open-source groups find it difficult to achieve significant progress in these areas. In this session, we'll look at how DEI metrics can be used to transition from intentions to results in terms of open-source diversity, equality, and inclusion. This session is inspired by the results of the “CHAOSS DEI Interview Campaign with Underrepresented Groups." We will discuss the different DEI metrics from the CHAOSS community and how to use them to evaluate success, identify areas that need improvement, and evaluate the impact of diversity, equality, and inclusion initiatives. We will go through strategies for establishing inclusive and diverse communities.
