Hi folks, Context: On June 24th Naomi proposed a framework for our Outreachy program [1], from her proposal: "...Outreachy presents a fantastic opportunity to work with and learn from people as they go through that process
from the D&I committee's perspective, the purpose of each internship should be to gather as much information as possible about the intern's journey. and that information should focus on areas that relate to our primary objective mentors are responsible for gathering this information, and reporting back to the D&I committee regularly. in particular, we should look at creating something like what Google calls friction logs...." Because of this framework, we need to set up the Outreachy program with two components: 1) Outreachy program management (as any other Outreachy's community) 2) Connection to D&I efforts within the ASF This email outlines the plans for the first side only. What happened: Today, the Outreachy coordinators for Mozilla met with Matt & Katia (Outreachy coordinators for the ASF) and Gris. Awasum (our third coordinator) was also invited but couldn't make it. The purpose of the call was to understand the coordinator's duties and role. The call was very helpful as it provided useful information for our coordinators, and it helped them put together an action plan to set up the program for the ASF. What's coming next: - Katia, Awasum and Matt will have full autonomy to work as the ASF outreachy coordinators. I've asked them to share updates with the committee weekly from now until we launch - I will work with Naomi on a plan to organize the second component of this program (The connection between the Outreachy internships and the D&I efforts to do Experience research) Let me know if there are questions, suggestions, etc. G P.S. Katia is BRAND NEW to the ASF, she found us through the diversity@ list, and when she saw an oppty to help, she decided to join us :) [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/dbba6f4fd358737fddcb3da4b78df4f87fe384d59a35469a0d131545@%3Cdev.diversity.apache.org%3E <https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/dbba6f4fd358737fddcb3da4b78df4f87fe384d59a35469a0d131545@%3Cdev.diversity.apache.org%3E>
