Criteria for adding projects / About page with other related projects

[jancborchardt]

A start at an attempt of what our criteria for selecting projects is. :) This could be the start of an "About" page.

Our short description is: For more diversity & inclusion in free & open source software communities 😊

• Open Source: Not only about diversity in tech generally, like
  • https://www.diversifytech.co, https://www.womenwhocode.com/, https://anitab.org/, https://www.girldevelopit.com/, http://www.blackgirlscode.com/, https://www.globaldiversitycfpday.com/, https://www.ladiesofcode.com/, Women Techmakers, http://www.women2.com, http://werocktech.com – even http://www.womeninlinux.com/ is not that much about free & open source software
  • Conferences: GHC https://ghc.anitab.org/, Tapia http://tapiaconference.org/, GHCI https://ghcindia.anitab.org/
  • Coding language groups not specific to open source: PyLadies, RailsGirls, Djangogirls, http://phpwomen.org/,
• Diversity:
  • Not only about getting newcomers involved in tech (OpenTechSchool, Codebar, FreeCodeCamp etc)
  • Not only women*, also people of color, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups

There are a lot of other lists already about general tech diversity initiatives:

• Tech initiatives for marginalized groups: https://gist.github.com/anikalindtner/9524950
• https://github.com/jamiehannaford/diversity
• https://github.com/cristianoliveira/awesome4girls
• https://github.com/folkswhocode/awesome-diversity
• https://github.com/piamancini/diversity-resources → That's why we should really focus on the intersection of open source and diversity & inclusion

What do you think @camilasan @jonatoni @sleepypioneer @emmairwin @incabell @sara-02 everyone? :)

Not sure about this one: Should we include initiatives which are about coding only or a specific language like PyLadies, RailsGirls, Djangogirls, http://phpwomen.org/, OpenTechSchool? Cause we should also highlight non-code ways of contributing.

I think they also fall under the category "is not that much about free & open source software".

I am closing this issue as stale for now - but we can open a new issue if we have some new ideas :tada:
