A Better DEI Badge - Made By You
summary
CHAOSS DEI Badging implements event-level DEI metrics (code of conduct, demographics collection, family friendliness, event accessibility) and runs an open peer review via GitHub issues inspired by JOSS. Launched in 2020 with FOSS Backstage as the first badge, the project has badged over 40 events and used Google Summer of Code/Season of Docs contributors to build the workflow. Organizers report concrete changes—better demographic measurement and policy updates—after badges are awarded.
