Thank you Justin Ross for contributing to this program as a mentor on the project "Implement distributed tracing for Qpid Proton C++". [1][2] Round "December 2021 to March 2022" has started [3]. We made the initial application as a community to get in the program and got confirmation for the budget from David Nalley as AWS representative. We have a budget for at least one intern, until now. Thank you David for helping us with the budget. Thank you Jarek Potiuk and Matt Sicker for looking for an additional budget on your side as well, every contribution counts! We are calling for mentors for the current round. [4] For the current round (Dec2021-March2022), we received 2 project proposals from the Airflow PMC and possibly a third one coming. Airflow PMC' experience with the program has been successful, according to Jarek Potiuk's feedback, they had great success with the round a couple of years back - with Ephraim - the Outreachy Alumni, who just became a PMC Member of Apache Airflow! *** Project: EDI Website We are asking for help for this project, see Jira ticket [5] *** Topic: Criteria for inclusive words: CLC (Conscious Language Checker) Thank you so much Daniel Gruno and Rich Bowen for your amazing work and contribution to the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee, thank you for your patience and commitment. [6] Many topics have been discussed via ML [7] [8]. Thank you to all of you that provided feedback, shared good criticism, and made recommendations. Some of the topics discussed on the ML are: opt-in by default to the project, a list of sample words (with context), and sample replacements. Some Jira tickets have been opened to address the topics listed above: [9][10] *** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors *** The goal of this second part of the project is to make actionable recommendations for ASF projects to spread the lessons learned.

## Description: - The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team that contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I landscape in the industry and for the foundation. The team also focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in their communities. ## Issues: None ## Activity: *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** Round "May 2021 - August 2021". The internship period is from May 24, 2021, to August 24, 2021. For this round, we are working with one intern. [1][2] and one mentor, Justin Ross, on the project "Implement distributed tracing for Qpid Proton C++". Mid-point feedback was provided by the mentor on July 5, 2021. There are 2 weeks remaining on the internship. *** Project: Website No updates. [3] *** Topic: Criteria for inclusive words This is Daniel Gruno's initiative, CLC (Conscious Language Checker) for Apache projects. We would like to encourage you to participate, the VM is up and running at https://clc.diversity.apache.org/ and has ASF Oauth implemented, so any committer can make use of the service. We would like to create a blog post about this project for an external audience, we believe this project can be used in places outside the PMC. We are receiving help from Joe Brockmeier, Greg Stein, and Andrew Wetmore. *** Operations FY2021: Katia will receive information about the budget to make plans for the rest of the FY. *** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors *** The goal of this 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 and progress: Approve final Report of the Community Survey & Contributor Experience: Joe Brockmeier is helping us with the report and its publication. We will meet Bitergia to analyze our strategy in the next weeks. Identify PMC that could participate in the second part of the research project to test one improvement approach: the potential PMC to start the project is Apache Beam, we are opening the discussions with Brittany Hermann. Select one improvement approach: no updates. Review contract and sign: Katia will sign the contract. We are pending for one last discussion with Brittany Hermann from Google related to the budget. ## Committee members changes: None. ## References [1] https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-may-2021-internship-round/ [2] https://www.outreachy.org/alums/2021-05/ [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r0e6d96a887d3d9a1968f6fa68760ab25e2d599fad08aff66459cb75f%40%3Cdev.diversity.apache.org%3E

The team also focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in their communities. ## Issues: None ## Activity: *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** Currently working on the round "May 2021 - August 2021". The internship period is from May 24, 2021, to August 24, 2021. [1] We are on week 3 of the internship: progressing as expected. There is one intern working on one project. The project of the current round is: Implement distributed tracing for Qpid Proton C++. Justin Ross is the mentor and he will provide feedback on the ongoing internship. *** Project: Website The discussion opened in the mailing list has been inactive for almost a month [2]. We are not able to find any webmasters to help us developing or maintaining the technical or design parts of the website. The next step will be to discuss a possible contractor involvement. *** Topic: Criteria for inclusive words Daniel Gruno asked for lazy consensus for a VM with the purpose of setting up a CLC (Conscious Language Checker) for Apache projects. The lazy consensus was obtained and the VM is up and running at https://clc.diversity.apache.org/ and has ASF Oauth implemented, so any committer can make use of the service. Daniel has added few projects to try things out, and according to his feedback, it seems to work.[3] Next steps: figure out how to communicate this to all projects in a way that is well-perceived, so they can make use of it? *** Operations Onboarding on D&I VP tasks: Katia Rojas had an onboarding meeting with Gris Cuevas, David Nalley, and Ruth Suehle to onboard her on the new role of VP and explain tasks and responsibilities.

CSCW is the premier venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and networks. Bringing together top researchers and practitioners, CSCW explores the technical, social, material, and theoretical challenges of designing technology to support collaborative work and life activities. The conference accepts novel, innovative and original work and typically has a 20-25% acceptance rate – which means it’s a very competitive conference. The conference had 900 participants in 2020. We have submitted our work for CSCW 2021 and we will know about how our paper did in April 2021, when we receive the review comments. We hopefully get an Accept or a Major Revision. This will make the research validated by a cross functional team of academics, helping us complete our first short term goal of providing scientific validates data on the state of D&I in the foundation. *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** 6 interns on 6 different projects.

We are focusing on moving the next sections of the project along, these are: contributor experience interviews and community metrics analysis. *** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors *** No status change here, so same information as previous report applies: We have reviewed preliminary answers from the survey to draft interview questions. The main focus for now is to write follow up questions to validate early hypothesis, main topics gravitate around type of contributions, demographic background specially spoken language, and challenges experienced by newer members. We need to find at least 20 people we can interview with the questions from this User Experience research. See the operations section below to see how we're planning to do this. *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** First-round Outreachy program dec-march: Mentors and Outreachy intern are getting assignments.

[3] Sponsors: we got fundings for 8 interns approximately. We started "calling for mentors" with the help of PR, Sally. We also set up a reminder for this message. We discussed alternative channels to promote the program and attract mentors/interns such as meetups and talks in local universities. We made the first contact. [4] We updated the blog. One page for the message "calling for mentors" and a second page to update the instructions to become a mentor and submit a project. [5] We are monitoring PMC mailing lists to see if projects are getting developed. There are some potential mentors showing their interest and asking for guidance. We are contacting mentors to see if they would like to continue in the second round. *** Operations *** 2021 Budget request was originally going to be $0, now we are considering request a small amount around ~$15k for survey and community data analysis next year to compare improvements. ## Health report: The dev@ and diversity@ mailing lists continue to be slow, not too much activity outside the work done for each ongoing project. The discussions have been focused on topics that pertain to the projects we are running. ## Committee members changes: None. ## References [1]https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/Getting+Started+At+Apache [2]https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/2020-01-13+Outreachy+Meeting+notes [3]https://www.outreachy.org/december-2019-to-march-2020-internship-round/communities/apache/ [4]https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/2020-01-27+Outreachy+Meeting+notes [5]https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=EDI

October 2019 Report ## Description: - The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team who contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I landscape in the industry and for the foundation. The team also focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in their communities. ## Issues: Two points that are not really issues, but more resetting expectations: The feedback and decision making process to launch the survey has pushed the entire project by 2 months since the holidays get on the way of new deadlines. New Expected time for a full report on EDI analysis is May. Comms plan for D&I committee is on hold due to bandwidth to work on it and the survey. Focusing on the survey first. ## Activity: *** Project: Survey revamp*** We're in the final review for V1.0 for the survey (see final deck here [1] There is a vote to finalize best way to send survey [2], current plans are: 1. Use LimeSurvey as the platform for the EDI Survey and share visibly a link to their data privacy policy. 2. Upload a list of all apache.org email addresses to LimeSurvey and send direct emails to individuals 3. Use a re-usable token for a universal link that we'll use to promote the survey in social media I re-opened the vote and intent to close it on Friday, will assume lazy consensus. *** Project: UX Research on new contributors *** Nothing has happened yet since this part is pending some initial results from the survey. As soon as we get the survey published, we'll start working on the questions for the interviews. *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** We are working on the migration of previous meeting notes to Confluence to create a report that includes all action items, to make the process more transparent. The contributions period started on Oct. 1t and ended on Nov. 5th. Two projects out of three got contributions recorded. 5 contributions recorded in total. [3] We encounter some problem while attracting applicants to record contributions. We think that there could be two reasons for this: the skill level required in the project is too high, the wording of the project is a bit intimidating due to the technical language or unclear goals and/or high system requirements. In order to address this issue, we took the following action: setup cheat sheet + more guided or explained tasks. Include this sheet in the project submission to guide applicants in their initial contributions. we've seen sometimes there is no time to address all queries/questions from applicants, therefore we could include this sheet to help them guide themselves. We opened a conversation to create a "Tooling training for ASF projects" [4]. we need a more easy-to-start development environment. regarding applicants with less experience. In this case, it is hard to find a solution other than committing enough mentor time, which is hard to find. We opened a discussion. The period for the selection of interns start on Nov. 6th and ended on Nov. 14th. After rating contributions, one intern has been selected. [5] Friction log: we started working with the coordinators of the friction log of the Survey Design & Contributor Experience Research project. First draft of the friction log template has been shared on the mailing list dev@ [6]. *** Operations *** First payment to Bitergia was approved on the 15th. This payment is for Milestone 1, total amount $30,000 out of the total $75,000 for the project. *** Community Highlights *** New contributors have been collaborating in the EDI projects: Laura Zanella Arianne Navarro ## Health report: Mailing list continues to be active with regular emails from the working groups. A few new members have joined and participated. Some people have been sharing interesting articles and started good discussions. ## Committee members changes: None ## References [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tCQvR1NmR8ds8dqECr0Hs6vheKjouDclBjhZQfMoLlQ/edit [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/250bf12767efb5a6d433834c489677b9bba3ca5e5d69b06596a38836@%3Cdev.diversity.apache.org%3E [3] https://www.outreachy.org/december-2019-to-march-2020-internship-round/communities/apache/applicants/ [4] 2019-10-31 Outreachy Meeting notes [5] https://www.outreachy.org/december-2019-to-march-2020-internship-round/communities/apache/applicants/ [6] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/diversity-dev/201911.mbox/%3cCAN_Ypr3cHMcSgd3t1xH3pzMCBof6B9dK0i2WDFtFJ1Q+P1aQdw@mail.gmail.com%3e

## Description:
- The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team who
contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I landscape in
the industry and for the foundation. The team also focuses on developing
resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in
their communities.
## Issues:
None
## Activity:
*** Project: Survey revamp***
Vetted 8 potential vendors, got quotes from 3 finalist and decided to move
forward into negotiation of deliverables with one: Bitergia. See JIRAs [1][2]
for complete context on vendor selection.
*** Project: UX Research on new contributors ***
Vetted 3 potential vendors, decided to move forward into negotiation with
Bitergia in a joint project to do the Contributor survey + User Experience
research.
*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ***
Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups underrepresented in the
technology industry. Outreachy interns will work remotely with mentors on
projects ranging from programming, user experience, documentation,
illustration and graphic design, to data science. Outreachy interns will
receive stipends for developing said projects full-time for three months.
We registered ASF with Outreachy [6]. Listed the sponsors [7]. We setup
communication tools (Jira, Confluence etc.) for D&I to communicate with each
other and communicate progress of initiatives. Created two project trackers:
“Outreachy Program Setup” to monitor the implementation of the program due to
the first time collaborating with the Outreachy Program, and “Outreachy
Internship Tracking” to monitor the schedule and onboarding actions [8]. We
schedule two calls with Mozilla to get information about the templates: July
18th and August 6th. We have created Apache labels for Outreachy in JIRA [9].
We created the outreachy mentors mailing list mentor@diversity.apache.org
[10]. We are working in a blog post [11]. We will send a call for mentor
e-mail to the announcements lists on the 17th of August, almost a week ahead
of the official launch of the initial applications [12].
More detailed reports on this work can be found on their update minutes[3].
*** Operations ***
Nothing to report.
*** Community Highlights ***
We have successfully set up the ASF as an Outreachy community, progress with
this program seems to be going smooth, and it gave a new community member the
opportunity to engage in an important project for the committee.
Discussions to find a vendor for the diagnosis work (survey & research)
started interesting connections with people in the CHAOSS community and
thought leasders in the topic of diversity and inclusion.
## Health report:
Update on Diversity & Inclusion mailing lists moderation: From the events that
occurred last month in the D&I mailing list, 4 components of a strong
moderation practice were outlined:
>Successful moderation requires at least a few things:
>
> 1. a clear, short list of rules people must follow
> 2. reasons provided to the poster on violation
> 3. a stated appeals process
> 4. consistent application of those rules
The committee has brought an initial draft of these guidelines to a Confluence
page[4] and feedback has been provided on an email thread in dev@[5]. Thanks
to everyone who has provided input.
Next steps are: Finalize moderation guidelines and publish them in D&I wiki,
and establish a process for appeals. We’ll work on these two points next.
Update on mailing lists status: We are back to normal cadence and volume. Work
in the three main projects for 2019 has started to show progress and tone and
interaction has re focused on core work.
## Committee members changes:
1 new member added to the committee
