Building a diverse community is an aspiration for many open source professionals but doing so takes more than mission statements and boilerplate Code of Conducts. With many marketing, developer relations, and engineering resources focused in North America and Europe, community is often underserved in other regions, effectively closing the door to a large swath of talented developers around the world. It takes active effort to foster globally accessible communities but momentum is possible with dedicated steps. This talk will cover the benefits of a globally accessible community and ways to build momentum for geographical and cultural inclusion. We’ll explore: - How to communicate the value of investing in inclusive programs & global communities - How to build globally accessible programs and common pitfalls - How to advocate for an inclusion, both internally and externally We’ll illustrate these points with real-life examples from some of the largest global tech communities.
