yt is participating in a DEI study, but we need your help!

yt is working with NumFOCUS on a research project funded by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation to understand the barriers to participation that contributors, particularly those from historically underrepresented groups, face in the open-source software community.

The research team would like to talk to new contributors, project developers and maintainers, and those who have contributed in the past about their experiences joining and contributing to yt.

Interested in sharing your experiences?

Please complete this brief “Participant Interest” form which contains additional information on the research goals, privacy, and confidentiality considerations. Your participation will be valuable to the growth and sustainability of diverse and inclusive open-source software communities. Accepted participants will participate in a 30-minute interview with a research team member.

yt is one of a number of open source projects working with NUMFOCUS on this research project. It was amazing--when we were asked if we had demographic data on our contributors, I think the answer was a universal "No." I used github handles and attached websites of our contributors over the past couple years to try and make some guesses, and unsurprisingly we have some work to do (just like a lot of open source projects out there). I have had some meetings with the research team, and they are very invested in making this research matter, so I hope you can make time to apply for an interview. I think this collection and collation of data is an important step in making our community more diverse and welcoming.

@munkm any chance you are available to take a look at this? I think I messed up the title placement...

Hey @stonnes ! Many apologies this got left behind... the participant interest link is still live, is it worth posting still? If so I'll get it through!

Ah sorry I think I should have pulled this, I am pretty sure they are done! Sorry to make you look at it, it just fell off my radar. Don’t post, thanks.
