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

Demetris Cheatham, 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!
