If you find something interesting that you can contribute, please volunteer at dev@diversity.apache.org!
Podcast Interviews
- Create some episodes on the FeatherCast (https://feathercast.apache.org/) about diversity and inclusion.
- Rich Bowen is responsible for the podcast. We can reach him to set a schedule once we have a list of interested people to participate.
Mentoring in the Diversity initiative
- If we have mentors that represent a minority, it can increase the representativity and make others more comfortable to join.
- Many people from minority groups don't know or are afraid to start by themselves. Having someone to help take the first step is a well-known way to achieve a more diverse community (ASyncAPI case)
- We could create a program to mentor people about where to start in tech, career advisors, indication of projects to volunteer, etc.
Collab with the ASyncAPI community for a mentoring program
- The ASyncAPI is a community that connect many API developers around the world. They are growing and have good DEI mindset, and some good success cases we can get inspired.
- Some folks on their community would love to contribute to Apache, but they think the org is "to big" and don't know where to start.
- We could create a mentoring project to help them to identify which projects they can start volunteering.
