Hi @allisonprice. Thanks for the submission. I'll get to this review in the next day!

[djmitche]

I wasn't able to find a link to the CoC from the summit website. I looked on the home page, in the bottom navigation banner, and in the FAQ. I see the link above in this issue and will review it from there, and I appreciate that it will be posted at the event itself, but it should also be visible for people considering registering so that they can know what kind of conduct to expect & is expected of them.

Still looking at the other items :)

[germonprez]

@djmitche -- you can find the CoC about 2/3rds of the way down the page: https://openinfra.dev/summit in the Inclusive. Diverse. Open section

[djmitche]

Ah, indeed! I'm not sure how I missed that. I'm also missing accessibility information in the FAQ? I promise I hit ctrl-f "acces" :)

[djmitche]

@ElizabethN I can't find information about diversity access tickets in the reviewer guide, to evaluate both the Travel Support Program and the ticket discounts. I apologize for my apparent inability to find things on the Internet today!

[ElizabethN]

@djmitche I think this is a recent-ish addition to the checklist. Mostly we are just looking for efforts by the event organizers to lower the barrier to attendance by providing some method by which they provide tickets, scholarships, or financial aid for underrepresented groups in tech. Does that help clarify?

[germonprez]

Hi @allisonprice I have a few questions that would be great to talk about:

1. The diversity access tickets really seem to be travel support for key open source members who don't have financial support. Could these tickets be expanded to included a broader set of people with an interest in the summit? I ask because there are times where people are not really able to have key positions in an open source project due to DEI-related factors. If being a key contributor is essential for travel support, this may limit the program.

2. Regarding accessibility, I really only see comments regarding COVID. The hope with this set of checks is that the conference demonstrates one or more different forms of accessibility for people attending the conference. For example, this could include information about wheelchair accessibility or visually impaired accessibility. Is there information like this that could be shared on the website?

Thanks so much!
Matt

[djmitche]

Does that help clarify?

Thanks, yes, and with that information I agree with @germonprez - this is a travel stipend, but not "diversity access tickets". I was also unable to find any accessibility information.

Hi @ElizabethN sorry for the delay in response as I have been out of office.

Yes, this badge is great! I definitely welcome advice / recommendations on how we can make our event more accessible and inclusive regardless of a badge change. If there is anything we should consider implementing, please let me know.

What are the next steps to use the badge?

[ElizabethN]

Hi @allisonprice!

What are the next steps to use the badge?

In the next comment, I will generate the code for you to use which will display the badge on your website, repo, or anywhere you'd like to use it.

I definitely welcome advice / recommendations on how we can make our event more accessible and inclusive regardless of a badge change. If there is anything we should consider implementing, please let me know.

Some ideas for you:

Accessibility

• provide a way for attendees or speakers to request or ask about specific accommodations (for example, wheelchair access, closed captioning, dietary restrictions, etc)
• some ideas on what you can provide at the conference to help with accessibility can be found under "Implementation" and under the "References" section here: https://github.com/chaoss/wg-dei/blob/main/focus-areas/event-diversity/event-accessibility.md

Family Friendliness

• some ideas on what you can provide at the conference to make it more family-friendly can be found here under "Implementation" and under the "References" section here: https://github.com/chaoss/wg-dei/blob/main/focus-areas/event-diversity/family-friendly.md

Diversity Access Tickets

• it's great that you provide discounts for students! Other ways you can provide tickets or scholarships to traditionally underrepresented groups can be found under "References" here: https://github.com/chaoss/wg-dei/blob/main/focus-areas/event-diversity/diversity-access-tickets.md

Let us know how it goes! Thanks again for being awesome and for applying for a badge! 🎉
