Hi, Sharan! Great initiative, diversity is a very important topic for
ASF and software development in general!
Here's another great community:
http://www.womeninhpc.org/
They bring together many highly skilled HPC devops and researchers who
I am sure could bring valuable contributions to many H
Hi,
I don't disagree with any of the points on this Strategy page, they seem
good to me, but it would be good to communicate with our existing project
communities as well. Ross Gardler spoke about diversity in his "Sate of the
Feather" address at ApacheCon 2015, but how many people did that reach?

Hi Tamao
All I can say is ..Wow!
Thanks for taking the time to put down your thoughts, observations and
general knowledge on this. I'm still taking it all in - but it's clear
to me that there are some opportunities out there that we can start
looking into.
Thanks also for the offer of help
Thanks Nick. I do have karma and I've created a basic page that I'll
continue to add my ideas to and summarise any action points that are in
progress.

I found your entire email (most of which I snipped) to be very

Hi All
Just a quick update. I've sent out an email to the following groups so far:
- Pyladies
- Phpladies
- Women Who Code
- Girls Who Code
- Black Girls Code
I'll post any feedback I get. Also if anyone thinks of any other groups
they'd like me to contact then please let me know.

HI Frans,
For information and questions regarding Apache OFBiz, I suggest that you
sign up to project's user mailing list (see here '
https://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html how to do so) and post your
questions and those of your peers there. I am sure the community can help
you out.
Best reg
Thank Frans. You may want to contact Jane Wyngaard about this.
She is my Postdoc, from South Africa, and has been contributing
to Apache projects (OODT, Kafka, for example).
She also is interested in doing an ApacheCon in SA and sent some
email to the dev@community list about that before.

Hi
In South Africa youth unemployment is as high as 50%. Many have tried to
even apply for a job, because the education is so poor that they are
effectively unemployable.
The only option women have who want to make a living for them selves is to
start their own business. Thousands do. They run

Thanks

Measurement, in aggregate, is something the Foundation could do if it wants
to make this a central issue.

Thanks Alex.
I will put Girls Who Code on my list of groups to contact and see what
feedback I get.
Where I am in the Czech Republic, I've seen that they have recently

are a few organisations out there that we can talk to
I will admit to not having thought much about this topic until reading this

our events at least.

We do not have current strategies. We've tried many things in the past but
they've never really succeeded. I'll not speculate on why, it's a complex issue.

with a strategy that is in line with our charitable mission the
