OpenInfra Days North America 2024 at Indiana University

The OpenInfra Board has expressed a desire to improve the security postures of projects and ensure we never have a repeat of the Murano project incident. In this forum session, we will have an opportunity to discuss potential guidance, concerns, and see if a future direction can be charted.

Based on responses the OpenInfra Foundation business development team receives from member organizations attempting to contribute to OpenInfra projects, community managers are running a series of discussions intended to gather feedback and ideas, to improve communication, processes and contributor experience for both new and established contributors.

This forum-style session aims to:

1. discover ways we can better communicate successful contributor habits and patterns to prospective contributors who struggle to engage

2. brainstorm ways in which the established community members could adjust their approach to ease interactions for newcomers

3. improve the approachability of our communities for new contributors in order to increase diversity over time

Everyone is encouraged to attend, whether you're a long-time contributor looking to help the community grow, or a newcomer struggling to find ways to get your improvements added.

Join the members of the OpenInfra Foundations Diversity and Inclusion WG to learn about their efforts within the OpenInfra Projects and how you can get involved. We will also look for feedback on how to get more responses on the Foundation's Diversity Survey and other ways you can help grow the group and their efforts.

An update on the Ironic project status, direction, and then opportunity for participants to ask questions, and provide feedback to the project.
