A working group session was also held at the Austin Summit with about 10 people in attendance. It was not long after the Austin summit that the group membership dwindled down and activity ended.

The group used the Foundation mailing list (foundation at lists.openstack.org <mailto:foundation at lists.openstack.org>) with the [Diversity] tag and still has the #openstack-diversity channel on Freenode though it is not currently being logged as Egle and myself until recently were the only 2 members.
