Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at OpenCon: A report to keep OpenCon transparent and accountable to our commitments to equity, diversity, and inclusion; share our learnings as conference organizers and encourage others to organize inclusive events, encourage iteration and feedback from the broader community
@lorrainechu3n & I are considering a new section of the report (or, generally additions) around collecting diversity data/metrics. It might cover things like:
what to measure (participants, fund allocation, speaker diversity etc)
the categories to use for different aspects (e.g I know we spent a lot of time choosing our various drop-downs, giving people easy to use lists that might be helpful)
how to interpret, and not just play a numbers game
some tools, like sheets we use for the program that people can pick-up & use
the most (culturally) sensitive ways to ask questions
Currently, we touch on it briefly in the diversity section of the report with a few small tips (e.g. leaving the option to opt out).

I'll be gathering notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fn4ODrnomyo9StPv_u3tx0W5xGPUaxnvKVGsUMlNV_E/edit?usp=sharing as I dig them out.
