Diversity Panel: Building an inclusive community

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Best way to understand diversity is to experience it. It's hard to see the reach of a community if we don't know everyone who's part of it, and with such a wide community it gets harder. On this panel we will have several people explaining their experiences within the Fedora Community and how they have overcome every obstacle to make Fedora their homes. We will have a set of panelist that will include people with Asperger, Autism, LGBT members, people from different languages and remote locations, and more. Our idea is to let everyone learn from everyone point of view and sensitize our community about the daily challenges that people from minorities need to fight in order to make contributions and be part of our community. More people with different backgrounds might join, yet, we need to make the proposal before time runs up (feel free to follow the mail thread on the Diversity mailling list)
