Experiences in Addressing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Open Source Governance
summary
Conference-era guidance: require a code of conduct required for every project, recommend the Contributor Covenant when none exists, and back it with a staffed reporting email that notifies board members. Measure impact with a baseline demographics survey, offer Linux Foundation D&I training, fund mentoring and Outreachy internships, localize materials and provide parent support at events. Favor “minimum viable governance”: mandate essentials, recommend practices, and supply resources so projects can actually adopt inclusive behavior.
