Notes from planning meeting on 5/29/19

Recording of meeting: community_health_may29_2019.m4a

Time: 10 AM pacific

Dial-in info:

Agenda

  • Update on LF's DCI effort and the status of Hyperledger being a pilot project
    • Update on LF's ability to manage the data per earlier discussions on measuring diversity?
  • Discussion about merging our efforts into the CHAOSS project's Diversity and Inclusion in Open Source Working Group – their next meeting is June 3
  • How to move forward – finding a chair? recruiting more people?
  • Other topics?

Action Items

  • David to reach out to Dan about bringing the discussion about next steps with this group back to the TSC.  Now that the next steps for the group are no longer to work with the LF's DCI efforts as a pilot project, we need to reset the focus for this group.  It is also time to circle back with the TSC since this group started after a TSC discussion last year and the intention was to meet as a community to identify what ideas would emerge.
  • Everyone who is interested in investigating the CHAOSS project's Diversity and Inclusion Open Source Working Group as a potential group to collaborate with is invited to attend their next meeting on June 3

Notes from planning meeting on 4/17/19

Recording of meeting: https://wiki.hyperledger.org/download/attachments/6424923/community_health_apr_17.m4a?api=v2

Time: 10 AM pacific

Dial-in info:

Agenda

  • Debrief of discussion at last call: Thoughts on discussion of LF's diversity efforts and demo of Indy solution
  • Discussion of action items from the group that we want to align around after recent discussions
    • Getting a gender baseline and then measure impacts from the initiatives?
    • Developing an Indy-based system that would allow us to gather data from community members in a privacy respecting way?
    • Picking one or more efforts to make the community more inclusive and moving forward with that while the baseline is getting established?
    • Other thoughts?

Action items

  • Group: work on survey we want to conduct once we have a back-end privacy storage solution.
  • David: check with LF domain experts on recommended privacy back-end.
  • Karsten: track down possible contacts at GitHub to discuss what we can learn in aggregate about Hyperledger projects from git usage.
  • Group: define key results we're looking to track. Examples:  achieve baseline of overall industry on diversity; beyond the overall industry; compared to open source projects in general (as known); number of specific programs involved in that help fix the upstream problem (lack of diversity of people going into tech.)

  • Introductions

  • Summary of previous discussions at TSC meetings

  • Review of relevant documents

  • Next steps?  What do we want to do as a group?  What do we want to propose to the TSC this Thursday?

  • Can we decide on one concrete step to start before the end of the year.

  • My [Dan] bias is towards figuring out how we measure our diversity.

    • Options to consider:

      • Survey (probably best short-term option, but not something that is viable longer term, for instance survey fatigue will limit results)

      • Automated name guessing (Other LF projects have used this)

      • Community profiles (This would require infrastructure but having a place for people to self-report data about themselves is the best long-term option.  This has worked for other communities. For instance, we have over self-reported gender information for over 90% of meetup attendees who use the meetup.com profiles)

    • Can we decide on one concrete step to start before the end of the year.

    • My [Dan] bias is towards figuring out how we measure our diversity.


What is our vision for community health?
