Women in Open Projects: Why It Matters?
Facilitator
Abid A.
Description
A product is the mirror of its creators. Half of its potential users are women. Are you sure you know what women want?
Agenda
Starting with some icebreakers: Don't believe everything you're told (women don't... women do...). Fight against the stereotypes (examples: Joan of Arc, Marie Curie, Grace Hopper...)
Impact
A good collection of women stories on tech and related field, which can be reused. Men and women coming home with ideas and tools on how to get more women involved in their project / communities. Not only because we told them to, but because they understand the benefit in increasing diversity. New mind sets with welcoming places for women."
Beyond Extensions: Crafting web tools for Journalist
- Aaron W.
- The Center for Investigative Reporting
- Journalists use web browsers, email clients and the like to research stories, contact sources and do their jobs. That said, these software are built mostly for a one-size-fits-all world. But, what if there was a browser that allowed you to set diffs on a website you were researching? What if there was an email client that had PGP enabled by default? Could we build these tools?
- At the beginning of the session, we would list the tools many journalists use (web browser, email, Excel, etc). From there we'd brainstorm how could these tools be improved specifically for journalist? Would they be browser extensions, mobile applications, desktop software or something else? Lastly, should time permit, we'd begin to prototype some of them. This session would be best served by a larger group. This session would excel by having a large group discuss how journalists use software so we could have a large array of tools to reinvent. If the group is small, we'd probably focus on the most obvious tools, but I'd love to hear about other pieces of software that we don't often think journalist use (fax machine?).
- If the group was very large, I'd actually make sure the tools we listed were small (say five tools) because then we could break into groups and actually try to build a prototype. The outcome of this session is rethink the tools journalists use every day and see if we could build some with their interests in mind. I want folks to leave with the idea that we could actually influence the behavior of journalist (like security best practices) by building tools that had these ideas built in by default.
[Pathway] Lorem ipsem
[Pathway] Participation is amazing
Target participants: Lorem Ipsem
Learning Objective: Lorem Ipsem
List of sessions:
- Explicit Invitations #3
Explicit invitiations to contribute
- luckas Black
- 6 week intensive outreach accelerator for diversity contributors. I will share with participants the takeaways on how to build programs for greater inclusivity, how to ramp up new contibs from non typical paths with with adult learners and navigate creation of similar programs
- I'll provide information on the timeline, the budget, the participants, the materials, the results from the first instance. Ascend Portland will have just finished so I really want to get people thinking about how they could take what this project managed to do and create their own versions - either as short or long form projects. We can work on ways to promote greater diversity from concept to completion.
- Going forward, more events created by us will have language geared to wider diversity, considerations that would be more welcoming to more people, that adult learning will have perceived value increased, and that there will be more projects like Ascend in more countries.
