This guide is intended as a resource for organizers of conferences and events from the Fedora community to support and encourage diversity and inclusion at Fedora events.

It has been produced by the Fedora Diversity & Inclusion team and has been adapted from the NumFOCUS Discover Cookbook.

Note: Anyone in the Fedora community can be an organizer or help in organizing an event!

You do not have to implement every suggestion in the guide in order to "qualify" as having a diverse and inclusive event!

This guide is intended to help event organizers to understand the landscape of best practices for diversity and inclusion.

We encourage you to do as much as you can manage. Implementing a few well-supported suggestions is preferable to implementing many suggestions that are poorly-supported or incomplete.

We have highlighted suggestions that are easy to implement and which have a strong positive impact i.e. "High Impact, Low Effort". These are "low-hanging fruits" and marked with a red apple emoji: 🍎.

We also encourage you to do at least one thing with "High Impact, High Effort". These are marked with a green checkmark ✅

As a general rule, we encourage conference organizers to implement all of the 🍎 measures and at least one of the ✅ suggestions.
