Minutes and Action Items

  • Cloud Foundry Background
    • 5 years under LF; 10 years total
    • DCI not organizationally addressed but shared responsibility among foundation staff (~5) and community (~30k)
  • Inclusivity best practices
    • Docs are a common first landing point, make sure these are accurate and accessible
    • Tagging issues as "good first issue"
    • Is the code readable for a new contributor?
  • Working groups
    • Diminished over time - similar experience with HL
    • Remaining 2 SIGs:
      • Integrations (cloud foundry using k8s)
      • Operators
    • Marketing Working Group
  • Annual Summits (1 in N.A.; 1 in EU)
  • Measurement
    • Abandoned surveys because of poor response rate. This echos HL experience so far ... ~10% response rate.
    • Instead using: 
    • Event demographics are easier to track because of registration
  • Misc:
    • Help be aware of language ...
      • ("guys" vs. "people" or "folks"). 
      • "easy" - nothing is easy or obvious to new contributors
    • https://textio.com/ is a tool to help check for biased language ..
      • often used for job postings
      • includes a gender bias meter


  • No labels
