Commons Project: DEI Framework

Archived. Open Source Commons team dedicated to improving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Community Sprint and Salesforce.org ecosystem.
I can't believe I didn't really notice this before. The Gender field installed by NPSP (Gender__c) and used by default by the NPSP reciprocal relationships has settings for Male, Female, and Other. But those are sexes, not genders. If you want to actually record the gender identity of someone, I think you would offer Man, Woman, etc. I recognize that the NPSP field would be very difficult to change at this point, particularly since it's tied in to the Relationships settings. But it seems like we might want to offer something a little more in line with identity usage. Perhaps a new field that can have the right picklist values and then a flow that would keep the new fields' choices in line with the existing field's options for the relationship settings...?

    We've been to Baltimore, but not DC itself. We used to host our events in hotel ballrooms, so always tended to host in cities more accessible to our Nonprofit community, cost wise, and ones that were generally within driving distance from other large cities. 

     

    Since we've come back post-covid we host in Salesforce office spaces where they have enough space to hold about 100 Sprinters which are generally the towers in bigger cities. It's very possible we could come to DC in the future if there is a space we can use.

     

    For virtual, during covid we held 100% virtual events, but for the upcoming November Sprint in SFO, we're piloting our first hybrid experience. Sign up before Thursday if you're interested in participating with us on Nov 2nd and 3rd :)

Heads up OSC Teams and volunteers! 

 

Because of this move, existing links to the Open Source Commons documentation on the Power of Us Hub site will no longer be accessible after July 15th. There will NOT be a redirect in place for our docs, so any prior link directed to the Hub will result in the "We Moved" page message. 

 

New OSC Doc link (on Salesforce Help & Training site)

 

I've updated the group side panel with the new links, but please do the same in your group(s) if you've linked to them. 

 

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

    @Elisa Rustenbach no, you don't have to be available all day so if you have a meeting to attend or need to walk the dog/feed the kids/take a break it's completely ok to step away. Participants usually have so much fun working on their team they tend to want to stay all day, but it's not a requirement by any means :) 

     

    As a new Sprinter, the most important parts are the first few hours of Day 1 so you understand the flow of the event and how you'll contribute to the goals of your chosen team.

Register for our next mini sprint on March 10th!   There's something for everyone to help out with regardless of your skills and experience. We would love a few data nerds to work with @Sarah Pilzer on analyzing participant survey data as well as marketing and social media nerds to collab with @Sindhuja Ram and @Brie Kramer. If you don't fit into either of those categories there's still plenty to work on with me and others.

That’s right, I’m kicking off a fresh new year with a brand new survey! For the first time ever, we are launching the Open Source Commons Contributor survey to better understand the impact the OSC has had on you as an individual and on the Salesforce.org community at large. Your feedback will help us improve the OSC program, how we support and engage with the community and contributors, and will be completely anonymous. Aggregated results and responses may be shared internally and through external social channels.

 

If you’ve attended a Community Sprint or Mini-Sprint event, or volunteer your time on a project team, please take 5-10 minutes to complete the survey by Friday, January 21st!
