Hello Women of OpenStack!

I am so happy to know you exist!

My name is Emma, and I work on Diversity and Inclusion at Mozilla.  Last
year we invested in a lot of research to better understand
<https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/a-time-for-action-innovating-for-diversity-inclusion-in-open-source-communities-6922fef4675e>
what we mean by diversity and inclusion in FOSS, with a number of
recommendations coming out of that.  Two of those recommendations were to
build metrics that matter,
<https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/reflection-inclusive-organizing-for-open-source-communities-9c44f0b689c1>
and to invest in ways of collaborating with other individuals and open
projects  - to really generate change.

To those goals I want to ask *if you would be wiling to share our survey
<https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/diversity-inclusion-in-open-source-survey/23733>
*with your community, and whether anyone representing this group would be
available for an interview with our researcher - who is looking into how we
might form a collaborative for D&I accross open source projects.

Thanks for your time, and of course happy to take questions or provide more
information on our work! 2018 for sure is all about taking our research,
and driving real change this year - would love to learn from you as well!
