The proposed session aims to increase understanding of the open source project and event practices that encourage greater diversity and wider inclusion of people from different backgrounds. Diversity in open source is opaque to participants, newcomers, and stakeholders because contributors are distributed, and in many cases are an agglomeration of individuals in different locations.

The goal of a Diversity & Inclusion Badging Program is to encourage projects and events to obtain D&I badges for reasons of pride, leadership, self-reflection, and self-improvement on issues critical to building the Internet as a social good. This includes: (1) establishing an environment where projects and events can engage in the badging program, (2) aligning the badging program with best practices, guidelines and recommendations from D&I efforts on the CHAOSS project, (3) connecting with existing badging standards creating badge classes (e.g., gold, silver, and bronze), and (4) Building an open, peer-review system for the D&I Badging Program.
