Injecting DEI into Community Event Policies
08-09, 09:00–10:55 (US/Eastern), Red Hat (Main 1)

With the increased awareness of inequality, law regressions, and the push to improve diversity and inclusion in Free Software, events and DEI are becoming an important topic among organizers and communities and a source of discontent from some marginalized groups. In order to explore these challenges, this interactive workshop will dive into applying sample policies on various scenarios, such as determining event locations and decision-making for funding community-led events. Participants will experience the difficulties associated with creating equitable policies and be inspired to craft unique solutions while keeping the practical on-the-ground logistics in mind. Join this workshop to learn, broaden your perspective, and help shape the future of Fedora community events and (hopefully) beyond.
