DEI Advisor - HackMD

# DEI Advisor Responsibilities ## ==> https://gitlab.com/fedora/dei/docs/-/merge_requests/5 <== https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/dei/roles/council-advisor/#responsibilities The Fedora DEI Advisor is a liaison between the Fedora Council, the Fedora DEI Team, and the Fedora community. The following responsibilities and duties are delegated to the DEI Advisor. ## To Fedora Council * Participate in two to three Council hackfests a year (what is a hackfest?¹) * Participate in two to three Council meetings a month, as representative of the DEI Team * Identify collaboration opportunities with Fedora Council responsibilities, Fedora DEI Team objectives, and the Fedora community * Optionally, serve as an Executive Sponsor of a Fedora Community Initiative. ### Examples * Council Hackfests: See the [February 2023 Council hackfest report](https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/february-2023-council-hackfest-summary/). Fedora-Council/tickets#331 also shows an example of the planning for a hackfest. * Council meetings: Sometimes in text, sometimes on video. * Collaborations: See Fedora-Council/tickets#306, which discussed renaming the dist-git default branch from master to main. This only represents one small part of the (publicly archived) conversation, but there is more behind-the-scenes work that involves talking to other members of the Fedora community. Another example is Fedora-Council#335, which was a proposal for the Fedora Community Outreach Revamp. While not explicitly a diversity, equity, and inclusion topic, there is an opportunity for the DEI Advisor to share constructive feedback to up-and-coming initiatives within the Fedora community. ## To Fedora DEI Team * Participate in at least two Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion meetings a month * Share periodic updates and insight on Fedora Council tasks and priorities back to the DEI teams * Maintain and update DEI team documentation for any key objectives and the DEI Advisor role page * Maintain Fedora DEI budget documentation in coordination with the Fedora Community Architect ### Examples * DEI Team meetings: Held on Matrix. Also an opportunity for the DEI Advisor to share any announcements or on-going work in the Fedora Council back with the wider team. * Documentation: Help keep pages (like this one!) up-to-date in the DEI Team documentation. * Budget maintenance: This is done with support from the Fedora Community Architect. Logistics of how this is updated varies between DEI Advisors. ## To Fedora community * Serve in an advisory capacity to the Fedora Code of Conduct Committee as an appointed member. * Assists the Code of Conduct Committee in identifying other members of the Committee when there are vacancies. * Listen to needs, concerns, and hopes of the Fedora community for Fedora * Be an intersectional advocate for the diverse Fedora community to Fedora Leadership * Act as a source of support and/or mediator in concerns or incidents * Make explicit invitations to Fedora community events and provide financial support to do so when needed * Promote inclusion in the Fedora community ### Examples There are fewer concrete examples of what meeting responsibilities to the Fedora community looks like. This is deeply personal and varies between DEI Advisors. It is also a unique opportunity to take a creative spin to how each DEI Advisor approaches the role. There is always room for new ideas and approaches on how to best serve the needs of the Fedora community and encourage inclusion across Fedora. --- # AsciiDoc conversion [[responsibilities]] == Responsibilities The Fedora DEI Advisor is a liaison between the Fedora Council, the Fedora DEI Team, and the Fedora community.
