Open Stack

 FeiLong, Thanks for raising the pain points as a non-English native
speaker. I had similar experience with you in last 5 years. Language,
timezone, culture are the common barriers for diversity and inclusiveness.
We could identify  what's
the biggest obstacles for contributors to contribute happily.  That could
be done through discussions occurred in local meetup/online meeting in
local language and bring conclusions back to the global community
discussion. record the obstacles and find the way to overcome them.  BTW, I
really like the TC office hours.





how you
think we could make our community more inclusive. What areas would you
improve
first?
