It is difficult to break into open s ource for two key reasons. One\, it is community driven technology and m any people do not have the time or capacity to do the unpaid work that i s often required to get involved. Two\, even if you do have the time to contribute\, it can be very difficult and even toxic if you are a woman or minority due to harassment by leaders in that space. These barriers\, along with so many others that underrepresented folks are facing\, make it difficult to have the experience required to obtain sought-after job s at companies doing open source work. \;\n \;\n \;\nTo support this discussion\, our conversation starter for the evening is “how can open source be more accessible to underrepresented communities?” \;\n \;\nThe Summer Soiree will feature a panel discussion followed by ne tworking. \;\n \;\nModerator: Dr. Harriet Nembhard\, School Head o f Mechanical\, Industrial\, and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon Stat e University \;\n \;\nPanelist: Sage Sharp is a Diversity and Incl usion consultant and the founder of Otter Tech \;\n \;\nPanelist: Esther John is Director of Software Stacks Engineering in the System Sof tware Products at Intel Corporation \;\n \;\nPanelist: Tara Robert son is the Diversity &\; Inclusion Strategic Partner for Mozilla \ ;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nDuring the event\, we’ll have an Activity Tab le where people can get creative.
