 The Fedora Contributors mix and fix the initiatives we have taken and we have in place the gaps and how to grow the numbers. So, about Fedora Diversity Team, I would like to say thanks to our FPL who has taken the first-ever initiative in Fedora history to come up with such an initiative of having a formal Fedora Diversity Advisor and making a team who is taking the efforts to support the minorities in the community and helping them coming on board. It's a new effort, just one year old, but we are trying to shape up the ideas, you know, getting there, helping the people. So, Diversity Panel was one of them. So, this team, this year was focusing on the women's minority group. So, we had the Fedora Women's Day on 15th of July and we had the remote events, small events all across the globe. We celebrated in Pune office also. This is the number of women who has appeared in the Fedora Women's Day and it was quite successful and we got some interesting queries and questions from them like what blocking them to be the active contributor and why the women's number is so less in the community. So, they were interesting questions and are very much familiar in Taptica. They have remotely answered their questions and queries and now they feel so quite confident that every day I get like five to six things. I showed it to Marina yesterday that there are a lot of women from the colleges, from the organizations they want to join. Though I don't get time to reply to everybody, but I'm quite excited that this thing is working. So, some of the women which are quite interesting for the women in the industry and the Fedora community. Did I do something? Not yet, right? Yeah. How to do it? I don't know. Yeah, it's just laptop. I don't want to mess it with just a laptop. Okay. So, who then are least interested in the technology? That is one of the men. Women cannot do programming or coding. Men are always the better programmers or talented men and women. There is no one-life balance for women who work in the tech industry. So, the context where I want to clear is if there is a married woman who has children at home, it is better to stay at home or her and taking care of the home and the children rather than going for the technical industry. I would like to quote an example of women. It's possible to me that Fedora always wanted me to go to either teaching because teachers get two months' cage off from their job and you can take care of your family as well as your job you will earn. So, these are some rules or blockage in the mind of the people that women should stick to certain profession and not to technical at least. So, they can be known if you want to add later on. We can get that. So, let's, I would rather say, feel some facts. It is time to, you know, discuss some facts about women in the industry and the community and the technology. So, how many of you know any of these women in the technology? Can you name? Well, I'm a hopper. I'm a hopper. I don't know if it is. Okay. So, anybody who can- Hey, what's your name? Yeah, I am. What's your name? I am. Most of them are saying about Grace Hopper. So, yeah, Grace Hopper. Anybody can tell what she has done so that she is in the list of top 10 women in the technology. I would like to put the credit to this set to make this excellent collage in the post. So, what? She wanted a month and put in a book and labeled it a month. That is one of the contributions. She is the representative. Excellent. So, I would like- Not one of them. I just wanted to discuss about few of them. So, personally, this is Zinkai, who is one of the best heroes of a personal computer. She is a creative director. So, this is the best example of a human creativity. She doesn't want a computer to be a dumb boss or a machine. She wants it to be more user-friendly. So, have you ever seen the icon of the trash box or the command line? Even a kid knows that. This is where- This is the way that I need to put the credit, right? So, she is the manager of such items. And, you know- So, you think about the human creativity here. So, next is heading of- A march to the frequency of a- Yeah. Yeah, what she has done. Excellent. So, you have multiple channels that are still used in Wi-Fi today? Yeah. After seeing her picture, Mary says that she is an actress. And, yes, that's true that she was an actress. But, at the same time, she has developed spectrum technology. Now, just for the brief, I can also- What it is, it's a very technical thing. Like, when you turn on the radio, you'll hear a different channel on the different places, right? So, that has been used in Navy, in Army, in Wi-Fi, in blue. So, you can relate how women can be technical enough. Grace Herbert. She is a programming pioneer. She is the inventor of the football programming, which was used- which was the first human-readable programming language in the history. And, 53% of the organization used it. So, Lex's adult adult was post-programmer. Ever, before when nobody has programmed anything, she developed an algorithm for a machine which was not even existing. Yeah, that's true. That was analytical engine. Lex's Mary, she works for the best screen displays. She does the same kind of size of the screen displays. And, the most interesting part is, she has moved on from the industry- profitable industry to the non-profitable organization. And, she has contributed one laptop per child for women. So, you see that all those myths are really the myths. Because these are the facts, right? Fine. So, before this, I want to say that these are the things women hardly know about. And, not many people are aware of and can read it. Women, like, this is some examples with which you can read it. Right? The people you can approach, the people whom you can talk. Right? So, let's go to the examples. Put on the lower. Marina. This is our fifth specialist in Red Hat. She's a mother. So, the myth I was talking about, a woman cannot handle the family and children and at the same time the job. So, she's the life example to, you know, to that myth. So, and for your information, her beautiful, her handsome son is in the pond field. See that I'm in the pond, I'm in the sun, and everything's together. A director. Who doesn't know it? Low heart, do you know? Yeah, excellent. Well, that's it. There is VP, a Fedora design team who is heading the Fedora design team. Lots of batches which you get for work. It's like an Oscar for creating yourself. Right? So, all those Oscars which you win are coming from the city. Who doesn't know move. Oh. Yeah, a designer. So, if you want to have tough times for the technical discussion, go through her. She has no point of contact. Okay, and these are the winners of Women in Open Source this year. One and eight. Do you see them on the right? Yes, and do you remember her big tight turn? Yeah, she's like a green cuba, everything. She's the director. She's helping in the onboard of Dropbox and right with her. Yes, she's an intern in VMware and also contributing in Open Source. So, these are some live examples, not the bookish or mention examples or the examples from the history. They are the present examples. You can relate them. So, you can look at my face. I'm a tester. So, some of the facts about women are they are creator. They are versatile. They are powerful. They are intelligent. And there is nothing blocking them to be a good programmer or a good coder. It's their choice to choose and move on and to contribute in anything they want to. So, diversity in every sphere or in every area has increased success. And it is proved there are the numbers to show. But there are enough of the numbers we have shown in the presentations. But that is true that if we have the people from the diverse backgrounds there is the diversity in the thought process there is the diversity in the ideas and if you put together those ideas your success rate gets doubled. So, magical numbers which are quoted as it is getting increasing year by year those slowly but it is getting increases. Last year only six women were present in the floor in 200 participants and this year the number is 15. So, it is getting increasing. We are going there. These are some of the good initiators which has been taken. Grace Roper's celebration of Women in Computing which happens in US and India every year. Women in open source award which is sponsored by Red Hat outreach program specifically for women is there. Google summer of poll is there. Dial age is women in group there. Ada initiator which is not there. It has been stopped but we can use their footprints and their conduct and their style of unconferencing open hands. So, if the initiators are there it will make us interested to be part of the community. What is lacking? What is stopping that? What have we ever been a part of it? Even if we are increasing the number from six to 15 to 200. So, have we ever been a part of it? So, these are some factors which I can think of maybe you people can add more to it. I think the lack of knowledge is there. When I had the figure of a women's day the most of the women who asked me the question was can I do contributing this area and for this specific time because I have two kids at home to take care of I had this job at the office so if I contribute so much on the weekend will it be counted? So, clearly there is a lack of knowledge that yes your contribution comes. The community like Fedora even if somebody is contributing just a small thing you never know where it will be useful and how much it will be useful. So, that gap we have to fill we have to spread the knowledge and it's not just the women should be spreading this knowledge to other women it's the responsibility of every man over here not the responsibility but the helping hand you can extend to other women. And enrichment don't tell your daughters or your sisters don't go into the technical line it's not safe don't be like my father and you understand to be go in that line open the gates for them and the options to them give these options to them they can be part of this industry as well support that is the part of the enrichment only. So, this support we I expect from not only from women but from the men in the school also. So, time commitment So, time is the major factor being a woman we have to handle so many are not saying that men don't need to handle too many things but that is the thing which maybe we cannot be consistently contributing in the community there can be the gap but that is acceptable in the community that even if you do small chunks of things it is counted. So, this is the idea to have more women next year at least double the number if even if you are a man or a woman you will go and educate at least a single woman and encourage them show them part how to contribute and what is their blockers how they how you can solve them how you can mentor them because you are already active contributing you can do that at least for one woman in next one way spend time So, think about the number maybe next year we have equal women sitting over here you know as many as men is sitting right So, that kind of helping pyramid we can we can go with or the initiatives like Women's Day or the events by which we can educate more women to be part of the community So, anyone would like to add something to the list to the facts and questions I want to talk about diversity also So, I will open to that That's it I have one question you say that women for example, women women are very interested that they didn't know that they should be done what to do to become an active contributor but actually there are many encouragement who doesn't know like in office there are a couple of them don't come to the office so, I mean I mean there should be a women's day to be part of the education so, we have men's day no, I mean I believe that you would like to add so, I am I have one moment I will explicitly mention all the invitation and the mails that men are most welcome in this event and idea to have such kind of events it is to have majority of the people from the minority group and not the other person people coming and over numbering the people we are targeting like we have so many conferences and how get-together and events and release parties where everybody is going men are going, women are going but the participation of women is less and sometimes we need an environment such kind of environment where minority feel that I am majority to them so, the idea was to give such kind of platform to the women so, for example there is great social conference and there are a lot of women in this person's conference and there are a lot of women who come to the office we think that men in their women's conference and I hope the point that they think that they cannot come to the normal conference because they may pass some comments or something else and they think more comfortable to have women's conference but anyway more industrial colleagues already have to work with men as well so, I mean point should be that there should be more comfortable to have women's conference because this is not yet to solve the problem because at the end they have to be working together all the women so, I believe that there should be a way to I mean there should be a way to they can come to the normal conference or something like that I believe in having so many conference like two women so, maybe I will give a bigger answer I like that idea I appreciate your point and respect that point of view just a little bigger example think about a person who doesn't know anything and he is directly going to a release party Fedora 22 technical party is happening and they were talking about workstation, cloud and so on and everything is going to bounce right and that lady could not collect the courage to raise that question she wanted to put she has the question how to make a fair account do you think that is the right place to raise that question for her even if it was the right place and even if people welcomed that question and answered it she couldn't gather the courage to put that question because people were putting across so advanced stuff over there that it was not a beginning point for them so that was the idea I think right anything I think in this example we are actually limiting women I mean this question is kind of normal means gender specific again it is no people in this experience why wouldn't you be clear how this would be the problem why we need secrets why it is that we need to advocate women yes but we advocate children actually we are limiting the women I know what they are trying to achieve but in the record sometimes there are things we need to be very careful to not limit the women I will take care of that but my idea is specifically to quote that example is why we have women specific conferences or events the idea is to encourage them to be part of it and maybe when they are at a certain level they can be confident enough to be part of the other conferences I totally agree and one more thing let's stop talking of women as minorities not percentage of the world's population that is just underrepresented in our community they are minority in this segment of this okay there are four of you Marina actually because minorities have told studies to encourage women to be part of it that is what I think for a while say in 2000 there was a little activity for women in technology and it was not like women in the world in the size of the communities in Europe and the United States we are so familiar with technology in history in 2001 the first few figures came back saying 200% of people were given those clothes and women and so having those special aspects of women like the bands and the skills that works out initiatives that is what is needed and a lot of other women find that helpful and so it is empowering it is empowering to be in a place where you see a lot of other women who are also passionate about technology passionate about the software when you have a stand a lot of the times you have a stand where there is only one thing so just having to stay fully to feel empowered and to feel as though there are many people who by determining the space with the ostrich in those three states to ask questions and to learn and also to talk about issues like better climate better standards of women so that as a job we also have high standards of communication and those are some of the reasons why societal events have been increased I think you may be looking at a similar example we as a whole as a women's community we are minority on the desktop so should that mean that so my point is that we are women's conference someone could say why do women's conferences better if women's people would interact with the window users and marketer users so there should be a system conference so I think that for minorities it's very important because we can be minority on different levels as a women's users desktop users we are a minority yes and we meet in our women's environment to kind of empower ourselves as a women's user so I don't know if I clearly said what I wanted to say that's kind of similar situation but on a different level so I totally agree with this and that events for minorities are really important and because in the group you can get empowered and to be stronger in the general events yes sure I think this situation will be huge because it's all about taste you like rules that's why you are going to deal with office you don't like rules that's why I don't like to be single we are more influential about rules that's what it can be you choose your authority you don't like to deal if you guys all like to work together and just do it just about the taste just about the taste just about the taste just about the taste taste like this so based on that based on what you said women don't like women's problems you want that to change like it's a choice you don't want to deal with women's problems women based on what she said but it's a women's problem it's a women's problem now it's all over and what's coming for you it's a women's problem it's a women's problem ok sure from what I just said it's people's choice to choose their own brand if it's them yes so that's why I don't like to be single you don't like to go out to to that conference if I were to work small I would like to have a physical distance I would like to place the stuff so it's a culture of women's choice to go out I would like to go out I would like to go out I think a whole country now is saying that I'm not discussing my thoughts clearly what I'm trying to say is that they cannot join the work or even they should start becoming people who are saying more inclusive it's a little bit hard that's what I'm trying to say I think that's the goal in general I would like to come to this and other conferences yeah I mean it would be and this is just kind of a small observation and it's kind of a silly point but I would love there to be an equal line unless there's enough of each word here representing that that would be an equal problem because that would mean that we have done the point to whether there are enough people I have important enough to work on these that add a decent representation in the team make up and it has always proven to make up that there is an unrealistic and I think it's not coming from the women it's somewhere a state of the men who have accepted that we are going to create something so that has to be you know that has to be I mean I feel like I probably do a pretty good job of encouraging I have two daughters and both of them I mean I'm not confused because a whole house is having a school of computers my oldest daughter when she was eight she was on the computer all the time and she really enjoyed it all of a sudden oh that's not cool I don't want to be science I don't want to be math I want to be sports and I want to be you know that's her choice but if anyone should be somebody just be my daughter I mean she goes around and stuff all the time but even I as supportive as I have been in this daughter even the teachers math and science that's the voice and I don't know how to fight it because I mean you know how I am with my kids we work on computers all the time but I feel like I can't win even though I'm the time I feel like I can't win because it isn't because of the subject it isn't because of the subject it isn't because of the subject the problems that we choose are from the roots we are in the whole thing so that sets the kind of mentality because me when I have a phone for seven days I can't wait to go to the engineering but it cannot be every girl over there for example choosing my life so let's not this is a real-time channel we are teachers let's get right in my life the freedom to choose the options is one of the two to our daughters so that's what we do that doesn't start from our own time so that's the way I have one daughter that has been a topic and now we take the recipe and eat the other fruits who are living two-thirds of the world's population why we don't address them then this gets to me not that it's an old-time impression that this thing gets now to somebody else and gets complaining that's the downside of this thing so I totally encourage anyone to come that's developed but right now there is somebody who has nothing else to do that's not welcoming that's not nice if you don't get to this point please not because maybe you have noticed that I have a complicated problem that this experiment started only last year and we have planned for every minority because all the issues cannot be solved or patched into one year or one year so we have to advocate women in the first year next year we can do other communities for education or they can technical and non-technical next time we can take new and old computers so there is a lot of changes in this context all the techniques are new followers, old followers women, the gender the age of the color so there are many many different types so all of those things cannot be solved and if I want to target all of these issues in a single day then we can do so there are other problems that were one-sided and I am not going to talk about these because I have been to other offices where it was not as un-never-prevented as that demographic is also in those projects what is the only project in the business it is not the project it is the business of the Indians or it is the government or the government you know I am not good at the e-mail I am good I am good I am good well one of what is a line with my mother I mean you know when she laughed at me she says she doesn't know that I am a human that she would not she doesn't know she doesn't know she doesn't know Yeah, I guess that's more of a, oh you're a woman, you can't go, that's more of a, no, you have to go. That's possible. Yeah. That's possible. That's possible. Right. But I think that's why my CO2 solution, my test is, I see this as a problem when I'm not looking at my data. So I don't really, like, break outside of this. The group of people that I find myself interacting with is already us. So trying to reach out to the groups of people who are not already in this group of people, I think it is quite acceptable. Thank you. So may not always be, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We want to have a little bit of a say. It was open on the various, and I'm going to make the women in pre-doctor compared to non-toon general. So pre-doctor is more of a half-west level, half of the time. And so it is more challenging. We just talk about it, and there's even more to this than that. It is hard to use to the women in pre-doctor. Yeah. We are not together with the women in pre-doctor. It's more challenging to choose that. Not getting that support you want. And it's my own personal example also. You won't believe that. And I also believe, even if I did all the talking myself, I couldn't do that. And I'm concerning and speaking. And I had my personal experience with this kind of thing. You are lucky enough that you didn't say that I had women who were here in this group myself. So you may have thought that women had experience with this kind of thing. But I had an idea that I was here. Like I said, how many of them were here. And of course, they were supposed to be here. We are looking at more stuff. Some women don't know what they were doing. I think it's difficult to work in the person that I don't know. Is it just the women? So, there is a study of pastives on Github, that comes really interesting, where pastives that were written by women, profile that was obviously women, were less likely to get accepted than pastives that were women. But when those scenes, when pastives were written by women who had their identity concealed by using a masculine name, or significantly more likely to be, these are not. Many times when you go to whatever content, women are unworkable. And so that is why, if I look at it now, yeah, Github is an Indian. No, it is so. I am explaining it to you. Every time you go home, and you get into the building. But Github, Github itself, is very diverse. So if you go to Github, and you go to that developer, and you get into that, it's supposed to block us, and pilot with the very explicit, so I won't put it here, but it's full tales of becoming a very common open source developer, a full desert, wonderful things like death threats, and sexual assault, by people in our, not, you know what I mean, but in the greater open source community, and that's why, if you get an eye on a man, and that's the problem, and we need you to fix, because that is horrible. That because he was female, she got that kind of an engine, like that, fundamentally, personally, we find a part of the cause of open source offer. So we have, I guess, a family of six women, and the father cannot be such a man. The best part, that is why I guess, most of the women, do not manage it, okay? So I don't like to, everyone who has part of it, can take a different part, and share the cause with us, and also, and also, I like you as a father, because, yeah, I mean, because, you are so nice, I think as well. I was here some new, unexpected girl, who was a new, and new girl, I'm sorry. I can say, it's an impression to be terrified of one of the guys. How I feel. I really don't think those guys should talk about it. Because I should, if I could pull some record, and it's a new hospital, I would say, I would like it, otherwise, I would say, I would say, I have enough parts, I was done for today, right, sir? Very clear now. Okay, so, nice to see you. I want to do God bless my fans, it is showing so many, how do I do? God bless.
