Welcoming Diversity

English Session

Sharan Foga

Diversity and Inclusion has always been an important part of our ASF project communities. Being able to work and collaborate remotely with a wide range of people has been a core strength in the growth of all our communities. How we attract, welcome and collaborate with a wide range of contributors can sometimes be difficult. What signals can communities give to show that they want and value diverse contributors? And once you attract these contributors, how to do we know or measure how well we are doing?

In this talk I will discuss some of the challenges we continue to face in becoming diverse communities and also identify some strategies and tools that may be able to help. Speakers:

Sharan Foga:

Sharan Foga has been involved with the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) since 2008 and has presented at several conferences about ‘The Apache Way’ of engaging and empowering communities. She enjoys working actively with projects on on open source community management.

She is VP Apache Kibble and a PMC Member several Apache projects including Apache Community Development, Apache OFBiz and Apache Training (Incubating). Sharan is an Apache Member and earlier this year was elected to serve on the ASF Board of Directors.

Open source has recently become a very hot topic. The core of open source is not in the code, but in the community, and what is the nature of the community? Why is the community so important? How to run a good open-source software community? Is there a conflict between open source and business? These are very important questions, in this talk, I will give my thoughts on the above questions. Speakers:

From Open Source to Product

Chinese Session

Luke Han

It has been almost 6 years since Apache Kylin graduated as the first ASF top-level project in China, and the founding team formed the startup Kyligence to work on the productization side. Today, from a product perspective, looking back at open source projects and technologies, there are a lot of similarities and differences. In this session, we will share how Kylin is productizing an open source technology from a “product manager” perspective, and how to run open source communities and projects with a “product mindset”. Speakers:

Community over code: practices on open source projects across different foundations

Chinese Session

Junping Du

As one of the key open source rules, “community over code” has been accepted by most open source projects. Building an active community around a project is recognized as an important sign to measure a project is mature or not. Thus, many open source foundations have an explicit item on their checking list for project graduation from incubator status. However, different foundations (Apache, Linux, and OpenAtom) could have slightly different practices across projects. In this session, the speaker will share some lessons learned from over 10 years of open source contributions. Speakers:

ASF Member, Apache Hadoop Committer & PMC Member, Open Atom Open Source Foundation TOC Chair, LF AI Foundation Board Member, General Manager of Huawei Cloud & Computing Open Source Business
