Building a Diverse and Inclusive Open Source Community - Ruth Ikegah, CHAOSS

"Should I be concerned about diversity? How would it benefit my community? What should my community do to promote DEI? How do I facilitate this conversation in my community?” As DEI has become increasingly popular in discussions, these questions and more are often pondered and asked by open-source members or contributors - these concerns and questions are valid. Diversity and inclusion are indeed the heart of a healthy open-source community. As one of the core contributors to CHAOSS DEI's [https://chaoss.community/] badging group, I would like to share with you the focus areas and metrics we have curated to foster diversity and inclusion in your open-source community.
