Let's open source diversity, equity, and inclusion!

Diversity and inclusion within open source is being approached the way software development was prior to the creation of open source. Most efforts, in spite of significant resources and financial investment, are very fragmented, not openly shared, only address part of the challenges, and are not collaborative with those outside of a single organization or very few partnerships. We have to approach this differently in order to yield different results. We must drive diversity and inclusion as an open source community, utilizing relevant data and building on existing research and initiatives.
