Although I could keep exploring the literature and the organizations related to diversity in Free Software, I’m under the impression that it won’t help fedeproxy in any measurable way. As explained in the article written about three weeks ago, when bootstrapping a Free Sofware project, the creators are on their own with regard to diversity.
I’ll try a completely different approach (inspired by @aschrijver) and now spend my time looking for a developer willing to dedicate time to be an early adopter of fedeproxy. It is a little early for that, of course, but I think it is a sensible way to work toward diversity and there is merit in doing it sooner rather than later.
- Publish a call for early adopters
- Advertise the call via the same channels as the Affinity Mapping
- Reach out to people who belong to underrepresented groups
