This panel will delve into the challenges and opportunities for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in open source, informed by GitHub's latest Open Source Survey. Through a series of research spotlights, panelists will share data-backed strategies and real-world case studies for fostering inclusivity at scale. The session will feature an interactive Q&A where panelists address pre-planned questions and engage with audience inquiries. Key topics for discussion include identifying useful DEIA metrics versus "vanity metrics," balancing quantitative data with qualitative feedback, and the impact of mentorship programs on community diversity.
