Keynote Fireside Chat: Let’s Open Source Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: DrupalCon Portland 2022

Speaker: Demetris Cheatham Moderated by Lauren Maffeo To truly advance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), stakeholders from across the entire open source ecosystem must come together transparently and collaboratively as a community. In 2021 we launched All In,an open source community whose mission is to advance DEI through access, community, equity and data. To date All In has shipped: The 2021 Open Source Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Survey in partnership with the Linux Foundation; A Maintainers Listening Tour which is a series of focus groups and individual interviews with maintainers interested in advancing DEI within their communities; and All In for Students, a paid 12-month program which provides open source education, career development and hands-on open source experience for select students attending Minority Serving Institutions. This fireside chat will be a discussion of what we’ve learned and heard directly from the open source community - the progress we’ve made, the challenges that still persist and what each of us can do, big and small, to create a more inclusive open source for everyone. Join us! Let’s open source diversity, equity and inclusion!
