Please find bellow my submission for the open Fedora Diversity Advisor
position.
Thanks, Manoel de Souza
*Why do you believe diversity and inclusion are important for Fedora?*
Building great software to support the world`s need for reliable free
software requires that we identify both developers and users on global
comprehensive perspective. For this reason, diversity initiatives will
enable Fedora Project to further improve the quality of the distro.
*Why do you want to serve as Fedora’s Diversity & Inclusion Advisor?*
Being a free-software (including Fedora) user for several years, and being
from Brazil I understand I can contribute to thee project evolution with
different insights and help in the ultimate goal of creating the best free
open source linux distro.
*What specific minority group(s) or issues can you offer insight about?*
I can certainly contribute a lot on Latin-America perspective among others.
*What perspectives, experiences, or knowledge about diversity and
inclusioncould you share with the Fedora community?*
In my previous company I supported initiatives to improve the availability
of books and development for local poor libraries and see how free open
source software can boost the development of poor comunities.
*Do you have experience working across various cultures? (Cross
culturalrefers to various geographies, cultural groups, etc.)*
In my jobs I always ha interactions with different countries and cultures,
so this open position will enable me to transition this skill to
open-source domain, of which I'm currenty only a user. In my profession I
also spent some good time in France.
