eglute#topic agenda17:02
jroll\o17:02
egluteplease review the agenda and add17:03
*** TamaraJ has joined #openstack-diversity17:03
eglutethere was a lot of communication on the mailing list about the community survey17:04
eglutecan someone summarize?17:04
barrettYes, Roland wants final feedback by end of day tomorrow.17:05
barrettThere are 2 things he's been covering in the emails.17:05
barrett1st is the intro email which will go with the Survey link. The text for that is in the Etherpad17:05
barrettIf people want to edit there, I will send back to Roland at the end of this meeting17:06
barrettI think the jist is that he is setting the context and letting people know it's OK to answer only the questions they are comfortable with17:06
eglutehere i the draft of the survey: #link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19P117V1OxZgRuPP6S2nwNCH6cC6v0jwwAaFswwLNqTc/edit17:07
barrettOn the Survey, I think it has the basic info that we've discussed.17:07
saracarlwhere should we send feedback on it (I don't like the order of questions, for instance)17:07
barrettsaracarl: You can respond to Roland's emails to the ML17:08
saracarl(um, don't like = "have suggestions to improve")17:08
eglutesaracarl there is a thread on foundation@lists.openstack.org17:08
eglute#link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2015-September/thread.html17:08
barrettI wouldn't mind adding a question asking to identify barriers that impact their ability to engage in the community17:09
eglute+1, i like that17:10
Dan_Fineberggood idea--this is not just data gathering, but issue identification, as well...17:10
barrettI'll send an email to Roland with the suggestion17:11
eglutethank you barrett17:11
spotzI think lxsli's email from this morning had some good wording as well as rationale for it17:12
egluteyes, i agree, and i really like the "no answer" options for all17:13
barrett+117:14
eglute#action everyone review the draft survey and send feedback to the mailing list + Roland17:14
egluteif there are no other comments on this topic, we can move to the next item17:15
eglute#topic geo diversity17:15
eglutei think this is Kavit and Roland, can anyone speak to it? if not, we will skip17:16
TamaraJI provided feedback to Roland RE survey. (sorry for the delayed response, on two calls / meetings at once)17:16
eglutethanks TamaraJ!17:17
egluteok, how about data analysis?17:17
eglute#topic data analysis17:17
egluteTamaraJ, can you give an update?17:18
TamaraJI haven't done much on that front, we've had some emails going around where people have shared information but I need to regroup with the team to talk about how to collate this information and how we want to store/manage/etc the data moving forward.  I'll follow up w/the group.17:18
eglutethanks.17:19
egluteI have updated the wiki page to include statistics that Lauren has shared with the group. #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Diversity17:19
barrettI thought that was helpful info from Lauren17:19
egluteyes, it is good to have that baseline17:20
TamaraJIt was very helpful!17:20
eglutefull data set by % #link https://wiki.openstack.org/w/images/c/c9/MemberGeoData-20150903.pdf17:20
barrettI would think that we could set a target for Female participation in OpenStack based upon the Market Availability of Women in our Industry17:20
barrettDan_Fineberg: Do you have that data point?17:20
TamaraJ+117:20
barrettAlso on the country participation, after the top 3 countries the data really falls off17:21
eglutei think only 9% women is a number we need to work17:22
spotzIs the country based on citizenship or residency?17:23
barrettI wonder if a reasonable goal would be to get the next 7 countries up to 5%17:23
eglutei think it is based on what address they entered when registering for the foundation17:23
eglutebarrett i wonder how many of those are active members17:23
barrettspotz: Hard to tell. I would guess residency17:24
egluteindia and china combined have more members than US, but i have not seen that reflected in participation17:24
*** GB21 has quit IRC17:24
eglutebarrett and spotz yes, i think residency17:24
barretteglute: The foundation prune inactive members ahead of the January '15 vote on bylaws.17:24
Dan_FinebergHere is the US infor for Intel in 2015, so far:17:25
barrettEven with that said, I'm sure there are lots of folks who are members, but don't actively particiapte17:25
Dan_Fineberg               Currently exceeding the 40% goal for 2015 with 43.3% of our new hires to date being diverse   •35% were women  •4.7% were African American (Black)  •7.5% were Hispanic  •0.3% were Native American   That's US only...17:25
saracarlwhat qualifies as "inactive"?17:25
egluteDan_Fineberg is that technical people, or Intel hires in general?17:25
barrettI wonder if we can find the data that would tell us what the number or percentage of Women in high tech in the top 10 countries participating in OpenStack is? This would be one way to set the desired end-state target17:26
saracarlthere is a lot of that going around now.  I don't know if we can find exactly what you are asking for, but some things that are close17:26
barrettsaracarl: Per the OpenStack Foundation guidelines, I think people are inactive if they haven't participated in any votes in 2 yrs....17:26
spotzI would think someone has done a thesis or doctorate in this area17:26
saracarlI can take that as an action item17:27
barrettsaracarl: That would be great!17:27
barrettspotz: Any idea where to find that?17:27
saracarlI did my undergrad women's studies thesis on this topic, but that was 15 years ago.  :)17:27
Dan_FinebergIntel monitors the hiring and retention of all employees, but has specific numeric goals in the US.  The company uses the technical work force diversity profile as a benchmark.17:27
saracarl(or longer, sigh)17:27
barrettsaracarl: you were ahead of your time!17:27
spotzbarrett there's several University's now with Diversity programs, I'd check with them or their library systems17:28
barrettspotz: Can you provide any pointers?17:28
saracarl"It’s no secret that there’s a need for more women in technology. In fact, women comprised just 26% of employees in certain tech-related fields in 2013. "17:28
TamaraJDan - EMC takes the same approach.  I recently connected w/the EMC Diversity team and am trying to see what bits of data I can get from them that may be helpful for this group.17:28
Dan_Finebergmore on Intel's methodology:    In order to measure our progress, Intel sets market availability goals for the jobs for which we hire. These goals are based upon the talent pool that is currently available with the skills and degrees needed in our workforce. We periodically conduct in-depth availability studies to ensure that our goals are accurate. Data scientists use a combination of data from resources such as the National Center for17:29
eglutesaracarl how would you word your action item? get the statistics for women in tech?17:29
spotzbarrett I know for sure the University of California systems have it but I'll check around. From the sound of is saracarl's alma mater might have it too17:30
barrettspotz: If you could send what you find on the ML that would be great.17:31
saracarl@eglute sounds good.  Just found this to start hunting this down with:  " 1 In 2010, IBM ranked number 1 in the DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for Global Diversity. "  -- the "DiversityInc" might be a good place to start.17:31
spotzwiil do17:31
eglute#action saracarl will get the statistics for women in tech17:31
eglutethanks Dan_Fineberg!17:31
Dan_Fineberg:)17:32
egluteanything to add to the data analysis discussion?17:32
eglute#topic code of conduct review17:33
barrettDo we want to set a date for a discussion on proposed targets? Think we'd like to have this ahead of Tokyo17:33
eglutebarrett yes we should17:33
spotzeglute I added the link to the etherpad with the current version of it to the agenda17:33
eglute2 weeks is reasonable?17:33
Dan_FinebergHave we discussed the different situations/attitudes in different regions of the world, and how that migh impact our objectives and success?17:33
saracarlwondering if instead of "targets" that are "flat numbers" we have "targets" that are year to year growth17:34
barrettsaracarl: +117:34
barretteglute: +117:34
saracarlbig hairy audacious goals are good, but we may never get there17:34
saracarlwhich doesn't mean we haven't made big strides.17:35
eglute#action saracarl Dan_Fineberg will work on numbers of women in tech, review findings in two weeks17:35
Dan_Finebergok with me17:35
saracarlyep17:35
spotz#link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/CoC - for the curent version of the CoC17:36
egluteDan_Fineberg we have not talked about attitudes... but it is definitely a reality that contributes to low numbers in some cases17:36
barrettThanks to you both!17:36
eglutesorry spotz i think we are back to data17:36
spotzeglute no worries:)17:36
Dan_FinebergShould we consider benchmarking based on geo region?17:36
egluteregarding goals, i think overall growth is def. better17:37
barretteglute: +117:37
egluteDan_Fineberg yes geography is part of the survey17:37
Dan_Finebergbut in terms of our bojectives, do they differ by geo region?17:37
egluteif you can find current numbers for women in tech across the world, that would be good.17:37
Dan_Finebergyes, I'll look for that data17:38
eglutei think after we get the results from new data, hopefully we will be able to extrapolate number of women for different geo locations17:38
egluteas well as other diversity numbers per location17:38
egluteit will be interesting to see.17:39
Dan_Finebergyes, I agree17:39
eglutewould be good to ask Lauren if we can get some approximate numbers on how many women in US vs India or China17:39
egluteok, so Code of Conduct now?17:40
eglutespotz, did you review the different exsisting ones?17:40
barrettOn the COC, doesn't anyone know what the green text means? Is it proposed changes?17:40
spotzbarrett I believe they are changes. The TC liked the django CoC which were proposed and then the OpenStack specific codes were added to make it coheisive and specific17:41
saracarlit seems to be edits for "we" vs "you" and various openstack references17:42
spotzAnd some wording/readability fixes17:42
barrettspotz: Thanks17:42
egluteso right now there are several COC on openstack site, is this completely new, or editing one of the existing ones?17:42
saracarlAssuming this is "good enough", what are the next steps for something like this?17:43
barrettsaracarl: I think that we would review at the next Board Meeting and ask for approval17:43
spotzeglute I believe this is intended for the main community17:43
spotzThe summit specific one I believe changes with each summit?17:43
egluteif it is edits on this one https://www.openstack.org/legal/community-code-of-conduct/17:44
barrettspotz: I think you're right...but the changes are minimal17:44
saracarlshouldn't it be good enough to write once and reuse?17:44
eglutewe will have to get Board's approval17:44
eglutesaracarl i believe it is mostly the same summit to summit17:44
saracarlis there an email address to report violations?17:44
barretteglute: Have you requested time on the Tokyo Board for an update from this group?17:44
eglutebut the links are summit specific17:44
barrettsaracarl: good question!17:45
eglutebarrett not yet, but i will17:45
saracarland who reads it?17:45
eglutethere has not been a agenda call yet i believe17:45
eglutesaracarl who reads CoC?17:45
barretteglute: Why not just send an email to Alan?17:45
eglutebarrett i will!17:45
Dan_Finebergper previous topic, I found some global data on women in technology jobs (US, Canada, EU, ROW) from 2013 at http://www.catalyst.org/knowledge/women-high-tech-globally17:45
saracarl(who reads the email to the reporting email address)17:46
eglutesaracarl that goes to jonathan17:46
spotzsaracarl I believe a point of contact was discussed, there was discussion at the TC meeting about a personal PoC be available vs not knowing who you were reporting to. I'd have to search for the meeting notes as I was more of an observer17:46
eglutei talked to foundation about complaints. they said they get 1 or less complaints per year17:46
saracarlgood17:47
saracarlwhat does jonathan do when or if he would get a complaint?17:47
saracarlconcerns about fairness, legal liability judgement (if any), etc.17:48
saracarlbut maybe too worried.  cross that bridge when we get there17:48
eglutethey evaluate and respond.17:48
saracarljonathan != they17:48
saracarljonathan takes to the TC?17:48
eglutewell, by them, i mean foundation staff that works on those issues17:49
barrettDo we want to send a note on the ML asking for comments on the revised COC with the intention that we'll take it to the Board for review/ratification at the October Board Meeting?17:49
egluteand how they addrress it would depend on the nature of the complaint. I did not ask for examples17:50
eglutebarrett yes we will need feedback!17:50
spotzbarrett I know the etherpad was shared on channel but sending to the ML sounds good17:50
barretteglute: do you want to give that action to me? or Amandap?17:51
barrettAlso, on the handling of issues - do we want to ask Jonathan to come into this team meeting and give us an overview?17:51
eglute#action spotz will send out revised CoC to the mailing list and ask for feedback17:52
eglutewhat does everyone thing about asking someone from foundation review how they handle issues? i think it is a good idea17:52
barretteglute: +117:53
cpallareso/ sorry for being late17:53
eglutehi cpallares!17:53
spotzeglute +1, I'm also trying to track down the TC meeting notes17:53
cpallaresspotz: Could you also send the reporting guide?17:53
eglutespotz that would be great17:53
spotzcpallares eglute Will do17:54
cpallaresI'm attending the next TC meeting, as the TC was supposed to read the CoC and let us know what the next step is in expanding it.17:54
eglute#action spotz will send reporting guide to the ML17:54
cpallaresFor anyone interested in attending, it's not part of the official agenda, just the open discussion.17:54
eglutethanks cpallares17:55
barrettcpallares: Is that the 9/22 meeting?17:55
cpallaresYes17:55
egluteanything to add to the CoC discussion?17:56
eglute#topic open discussion17:56
barrettwhere did we get to on inviting Jonathan in? Should I send him an email?17:56
eglutebarrett yes please do17:56
barrettOK17:56
saracarlcan I just add something to the agenda for next time?  Is that how that works?17:56
eglute#action barrett will invite jonathan to the meeting in 2 weeks17:57
eglutesaracarl yes!17:57
eglutealso, mailing list.17:57
saracarlok.  will do.17:57
egluteyou can bring it up now as well, but we have only 2 min17:57
*** TamaraJ has quit IRC17:57
saracarlso to bring something up in this meeting, I should mail the entire foundation mailing list.  I'm not that comfortable doing that.....17:58
eglutesaracarl the meetings are at alternating times, this meeting at this same time will occur in two weeks17:58
eglutenext week it is at midnight17:58
saracarlok.  :)  will make sure it is for 2 weeks from now.17:58
