Building a Diverse and Inclusive Open Source Community
summary
CHAOSS provides concrete DEI metrics across events, governance, leadership and community, including issue label inclusivity that measures presence of "good first issue" labels, usable titles, and templates; metrics link to tools like remote lab and or auger for automated analysis. A peer-reviewed DI badging program issues gold/silver/diamond event badges (two reviewers per application), launched 2020 and applied to OSS EU for two years. Projects include a Diversity Interview campaign and local chapters (CHAOSS Africa) that show increased engagement within three months.
