In addition to making these questions not required, we also provide the option for a registrant to select “prefer not to answer”. A selection of Prefer Not to Answer is available for the following questions: Do you identify as a person of color, What gender do you identify with, and How old are you.

Diversity Access Tickets

• [ ] This event commits to the Diversity Access Tickets.
  • Q How many different types of diversity access tickets are available for the event?
  • A PX4 Developer Summit has two different kinds of funding available for the event: event ticket scholarship and travel funding to provide diversity access tickets to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Scholarship includes a standard in-person ticket to the event. Travel funding includes: Coach airfare ticket, accommodation for the dates of the event plus one night prior to the event start date, ground transportation to/from the airport, and a standard in-person ticket to the event.
  • Q What are the criteria for qualifying for a diversity access ticket?
  • A PX4 Developer Summit places an emphasis on funding applicants who are from historically underrepresented or untapped groups and/or those of lower socioeconomic status. If an individual works for a company that has the ability to fund travel, we ask that they not apply to save scholarship funds for those who need it. We ask applicants to provide a few key pieces of information on their application including their Company or Organization, whether they can receive funds from their organization, a brief description of the ways they are involved in technology and/or open source communities, and why they want to attend the conference. We also ask if they belong to an underrepresented and/or marginalized group. This field is not required, and is optional to include.

@djmitche @Gemarodri Hi, Hope you are doing good. I'm just checking in to make sure you got the notification for this. Please let me know if you have any questions or notify @ElizabethN when you are done with the review. Thank you.

[Gemarodri]

Hi @RachelBraunLF!

Thank you for the submission. I have two questions for you:

• (1) How do you plan to request feedback from the speakers? You mentioned: "We send out a post-event survey to all attendees", but I couldn't find any information about the speakers.
• (2) What is the process to allocate diversity access tickets? I found information about the criteria, but not about the process itself. For example, is there a committee to review the applications? is there a maximum number of diversity access tickets? More details would be needed here.

Thank you!

[RachelBraunLF]

Hi @Gemarodri ,

Thanks for your review!

1. We use the same attendee survey for our speakers. The post-event email for the event goes to all attendees (speakers, sponsors, attendees) and we solicit feedback from all our attendees using the same survey.
2. After the scholarship application closes, we send the list of applicants to a specific review committee, often time it is the same review committee that reviews the CFP, though sometimes it is a different committee (this is determined by the project.) The number of applicants who receive a scholarship is determined by funds set aside within the event budget, and also the quantity of diversity scholarship sponsorships sold. [See sponsorship prospectus: (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/sponsor-pX4-22-040422-v3.pdf]

I apologize for being tardy in reviewing this. Hello again @RachelBraunLF -- you are certainly busy!

This looks fantastic, in general. The D&I page has all the info I'd be looking for as an attendee right in one place, and I'm thrilled to see nursing rooms, child care, and communication/interaction levels.

I left two boxes unticked;

• Text Input -- because there is none, but I think for well-considered reasons.
• Session Accessibility -- the checkbox is about recordings of sessions, and I don't see an indication that sessions are recorded. I'm happy to check the box if that's the case.

Aside from that, @ElizabethN I think we're ready?

[ElizabethN]

@Gemarodri I updated your checklist to reflect the feedback from @RachelBraunLF. 👍 @djmitche I believe the LF Events Team provides access to all slides from speakers of past events, so I think that's enough to check the box. They may not be able to provide access to previous recordings for various reasons. I went ahead and checked that box on your checklist as well - hope that's ok? If not we can re-run the badge.

Also - thank you both for completing your review! 🥳 :pray:

@RachelBraunLF is this badge acceptable to you?

[djmitche]

Ticking boxes on my behalf is fine -- thanks! I'll [try to] remember that next time.

[RachelBraunLF]

Thanks @ElizabethN - I accept the badge! And to address @djmitche question about recording, we try to make recordings available whenever possible, pre-COVID it was often just keynotes and all slide decks from presenters, but with the new virtual/hybrid world, we are often able to share recordings from more sessions.

[ElizabethN]

@RachelBraunLF awesome! And thanks for adding that extra bit of context. It's super helpful! Generating the badge now, but of course, let us know if there are any follow up questions. Best of luck with the event! :tada: 🥳
