 All right, so I think we'll go ahead and get started with the second half of this session for the unconscious bias training workshop So the way this will be structured is we'll spend a little bit of time to explain what is unconscious bias and then we're going to do a Short game that'll be most of the of the workshop So we're going to kind of get us all on the same page. So this will be pretty quick for what we cover The unconscious bias. So what is unconscious bias? It's this Idea that so that this I think is a great way to start by explaining this so approximately every day We receive 40 million bits of information 99.999 percent of what we can process Is in the or we receive like the glacier is like 40 million bits of information We receive in a day, but in reality we're only able to actually process 40 bits at a time So you can kind of see like what it's represented here is that you're only able to actively understand to see Hardly less than 1% of the information you receive Like it the things you were said the things you understand and our Information you see in a day So the idea of unconscious bias is that everyone has their own different biases or perspectives their own different Experiences that they've had in their life that skew the way that they see things as what someone else might see So this one is kind of getting at it that We all kind of bring our own perspectives our own experiences into the workplace into collaborating with other people and Those biases can influence us for how we work with other people the way that we work with other people the way we make other people feel when we're working together with them and The idea of unconscious bias is it just like how 99% of the information we receive in a day We we don't really process a lot of times the biases that we're bringing in we don't really Notice or understand ourselves So the idea of an unconscious bias training is to help bring awareness to some of the our own biases or our own perspectives of things that we bring Into a collaborating with other people or working with others And so this one is kind of getting at the idea that when we are aware of those biases when we understand these different Perspectives that other people are bringing into a project or a team an open-source community we are able to take the best pieces that everyone is offering and what everyone is bringing to the table when we can work together with other people to collaborate and appreciate the diversity of thought and what everyone is bringing to the table when we take a moment to realize that Not everyone has gone through the same experiences that we've had to to get to the table And everyone has gone through the same things to be here in this room right now. It can help us understand be more empathetic for other people and understand that Have some more empathy for what they're bringing to the table and have a chance to listen to them just like in the keynote we heard this morning taking the time to Listen before you speak and understand what other people are are Bringing to the conversation to the project to the community so now No more talking we're gonna play a game and everyone's going to have to stand up and The way this is going to work everyone will come over to the right side of the room And we're all going you everyone's going to start in the same place in a straight line by the chair that's facing backwards and so I want to do a disclaimer in the beginning This is a game where there is no winner and no loser So there's no prize for this game, but it's just one that It's more of an experience than it is a winning losing game So everyone can stand up and you can come over to this side of the room And I'm sorry for the recording, but we're probably not going to be able to use the microphone as much So the way this game will work is I'm going to read a series of statements and Depending on the spots you're going to take one step forward Or you're going to take one step backwards So I will start in a straight line and equal distance here facing this direction Everyone's been facing towards the And one step So one step is going to be One step But just a a small step and so And And this is also going to be a while we're playing the game It's going to be a more reflective silent activity for you to think about While we're going through it. So I will read the statements aloud So please take one step forward or backward if a statement applies to you If you don't feel comfortable acknowledging a statement that applies to you You don't have to move when it's red. No one else will know whether it applies to you or not So there'll be a little bit of a chance for you to think about each statement If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to take a step I will say you either take a step forward or a step back I'll say it in each each question All right So if you are right-handed take one step forward If English is your first language Take one step forward If one or both of your parents have a university degree Take one step forward if you can find bandages or band-aids at a mainstream store That match or blend in with your skin tone Take one step forward If you can find like a bandage or some kind of like Band-aid that matches your skin tone or blends in with your skin tone.

And so the rest of this workshop will be kind of like a round table discussion So we can all just kind of sit at these group of chairs and Have a quick conversation and ask some questions. So one thing about these questions You don't have to respond no one has to answer for any of these if you do not feel comfortable answering but if you want to share or add a perspective You're welcome to answer I want this to be I don't want to be up here talking at a podium Talking at you, but I want to be having I want us to have an honest conversation talk person to person with this so They would have a feeling of what it feel like to be in the front of the group or to be in the middle or to be in the back The gender difference Next question I had was If there was a moment when you were standing next to someone and you broke your position in line Either forward or backward. How did you feel in that moment? One of the other questions I had was What do you wish people knew about one of the identities situations or Disadvantages that caused you to take a step backwards Anyone can always go back and answer any of the other questions But the last one I had and this was when I kind of want to hear from everyone that participated with this but was how can your understanding of your privileges or your Marginalizations improve your relationships with your relationships And I think that's one of the things that I wanted to share with you. I think that's one of the things that I wanted to share with you Marginalizations improve your relationships with yourself and with other people You have taught it all before This is something that you found valuable understanding of how this might Change the way you think about working out with people what you learn What thing that you felt like you was your big takeaway your big your big thing And what's the other people especially like especially I think it's really well in it with open source And like how so many of us will do our interaction with each other is text IRC Tickets Threads not a very inter-personal communication They synchronize usually communication are very in person I think this is like I just want to do that I love to like conferences like long and how we have so many people who have a background perspective I certainly The minimal viable things to be in that space I really never understood the idea of All that we had left oh there was a quick do you want to cover this one be or do you want me to Okay, so these were just some kind of takeaways for How you can actually work with your unconscious bias so The four tips and this comes from a really great workshop that Google has Put together for unconscious bias as well They have a free like all these resources for organizing and running your own workshop We didn't do with that workshop, but this was one kind of takeaway that we borrowed from their Their program, but how you can work for how you can work with your unconscious bias commit to one of these actions for structuring for success So this can be like a process for onboarding new people into a project or a community or some other or even like a a new a new person in your workplace or someone who is Just getting started out and also try to just how you were able to see and Visualize some of the different biases and backgrounds that we share Maybe be a little more aware of some of those things when you talk to people who are newcomers or new contributors or are Becoming more involved with the community Yeah, we are at time. So we'll wrap this up. We'll make this really quick. The last one was just measuring results So like especially like an open source or projects or communities looking at things like diversity metrics Or looking at like community Like this is one of the things that we've been trying to do with the fedora diversity and inclusion team To is to have a demographic survey to understand the different like all the different kinds of people who are in the fedora community But it can also be at an individual level to like for all of us in different sub projects They ambassadors design commops Like have you noticed any changes in your own team or has there been more or less engagement by newcomers? Recognize and evaluate subtle messages So you might not realize that you're being very blunt or very honest and sometimes just and this I think was actually explained really well in the keynote this morning with how we communicate with other people at an interpersonal level and in the same way that Rebecca this morning talked about Thinking about the way that we phrase things the way that we present things to others we can try to be more considerate of the challenges faced by other people try to be more encouraging or provide different kinds of solutions or ideas instead of just saying this doesn't work or This is this is wrong and try to add explain why or give a Give a more reason for them for why they can or how they can identify something for themselves next time In the last part and this is I think is a really big one Hold everyone accountable to so question your first impressions justify your decisions and ask for feedback try to empower others and your teams your projects and your personal life to Not just call out unconscious bias But just to be aware of it just how like for a lot of us like like for me when I did this like it was just an eye-opening experience just to realize That all these different people have different perspectives have gone through different things to be in this room I think just being aware of that is a huge part of of calling it out even if it's not explicit just trying to build an understanding Share that what other people is is really important to and then creating our kind of feeds into this But creating a culture of calling out unconscious bias to help encourage others to justify decisions and to make decisions collectively So these were just kind of for like quick takeaways and you can structure this I was kind of skewing this to fedora context But I think you can really take these for any context whether it's in your workplace whether it's In your in your degree and you're for going for your degree and your university teams or projects you work with And your personal life with relationships you have with other people And I think that's Really all that we had if you want to look at any of these resources that we use today These were really a lot of what were Used for across building this workshop. So feel free to grab a picture and look at some of these especially the the second one the Privilege walk lesson that was a really great. We adapted Most we use that as a base But we made some adaptations for her flock for the people who would be here But that was a really great resource for the unconscious bias privilege walk and even the rework guides by Google have a lot of like nice resources to To improve like inclusion in your workspace. So you can also take a look there and just We wanted to we are doing this workshop For the first time at flock So we wanted to know if you have any feedback or like what you thought about the whole workshop maybe do you want it to be shorter or maybe Like some questions were a little bit uncomfortable or any if you have any feedback just let us know So we can work on it for future additions and this can be Hallway track mailing list personal email is not to be here right now But any any feedback you have is always welcome any time You can just also find us around flock if you want to just talk with us privately as well You can send it on diversity mailing list Or like just reach out to any yeah on IRC telegram anything Thanks everyone for participating Thank you
