Collecting D&I surveys in open source

[Georg Link <li...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

My name is Georg Link. I introduce myself because this is my first message
to this mailing list. I co-founded the CHAOSS project and am one of the
maintainers of the CAHOSS Diversity and Inclusion Working Group (CHAOSS D&I
WG). I recently finished my PhD. I studied how D&I metrics are developed
and come to live in the world [1]. Now, I work with Bitergia.

I met Gris Cuevas at CHAOSScon in San Diego and have been talking with her
about the upcoming ASF D&I survey. In preparation and to foster
collaboration, the CHAOSS D&I WG started collecting past D&I surveys across
open source communities [2].

The collection of D&I surveys
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GsGdfr4eqbh_bWTH5oYbQcko6OGAlmQCo8-BqybEFoo/edit#>
[3] should contain:
1. Survey questionnaires
2. Survey results and reports

Collecting past surveys is a first step for identifying reusable survey
questions as well as getting a baseline for comparison. It would be great
to pool our resources across the open source ecosystem.

The CHAOSS D&I Working Group has also been working on new survey questions
that may be added to future D&I surveys. Therefore, we propose to collect
all kinds of questions within the CHAOSS D&I Working Group and make them
available to anyone who wants to run a D&I survey in the future.

The CHAOSS D&I Working Group needs your help to identify what D&I surveys
have been done in the past and collecting the survey questions that have
been used.

*Please add links to resources, surveys, and reports of surveys to a shared
google doc

Thank you!
Georg

PS: I look forward to the collaborating with you all more in the following
months.
