DRAFT: this is only a draft.

About

The Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (D&I) is a long term solution, supported by tangible, participatory mechanisms like workshops, trainings, tools, coaching, and other collaborative structures. These structures serve to impact the long-term organizational health of the Project whose contributor pathways are becoming increasingly complex. As our geographic reach and the number of people who touch the Project grows, we are presented with an opportunity. If we apply a complementary layer of rigor, structure, and coordination to our existing programs, with a focus on helping Mozillians know more, do more, and do better, we can bring these tenets to life with an even greater impact.

Benchmarks

In order to measure progress on the strategy we would use benchmarks. Please note: We are in the process of requesting copyright permission.

Metrics

Survey

There will be a survey designed to capture Mozilla's D&I practices as they are presently experienced and where we would like them to be. This survey will borrow from the Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks, a comprehensive research tool that places an emphasis on "Leadership and Accountability" as a foundational element to building any systemic D&I strategy.

Methodology

While we strive to use "best practices," our intention is always to do what is right for our Mozilla citizens. Our approach will always be unique because of the particular nature of our global project. We choose to partner with trusted partners we have worked with in the past, and new, innovative partners that will help us evolve our global awareness.

AdaCamp

AdaCamp: "AdaCamp is a conference dedicated to increasing women’s participation in open technology and culture: open source software, Wikipedia-related projects, open data, open geo, library technology, fan fiction, remix culture, and more.

Sexual harassment prevention training

All of us deserve to work in a place where we are respected, have each other's backs, and hold each other accountable for both. To help us all do this better, we have asked Richard Curiale, a California-based employment law attorney, to spend some time with us on the topic of sexual harassment. This is a legal training - understanding what constitutes harassment in the eyes of the law.

Manager training (live in Mountain View, streamed live to all spaces):

Managers - if you are absolutely unable to rearrange your schedule to attend the session live in Mountain View or from your local or home office via AirMo, please email Mihca Anderson about how to satisfy the requirement for attending harassment training.

Individual contributor training (live in Mountain View, streamed live to all spaces)

We're using the MoCo Vidyo channel for these sessions (same as we use for Monday meetings). You can watch live from AirMo, linked above, or you can join via Vidyo to be able to ask questions (https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/airmo/MoCo+Vidyo+Room+Security). You can also send your question to angelak on IRC.

Per the requirements of the presenter, these sessions cannot be recorded.
