Open Source thrives on the diversity of its global contributors, which has driven the creation of some of the most inclusive practices in the industry. Yet, nearly 80% of the global tech community remains underrepresented and faces numerous inclusivity barriers beyond just language. In this session, we'll see how open-source organizations have harnessed their diverse voices to craft a community that includes all identities, gender representations, and multilingual accessibility. By the end of this session, attendees will gain practical insights to implement these inclusive standards in their work, ensuring their community is welcoming and accessible to all.

This session highlights a critical issue in the tech industry - THE LACK OF INCLUSIVITY. While this problem spans multiple sectors, we will focus specifically on community practices. We'll explore how language barriers, gender biases, and accessibility gaps have historically excluded many from fully engaging with Community. We'll also look at how some of the most successful open-source communities, such as Kubernetes, and Django have faced inclusivity challenges before, how they have tackled them head-on, and what we can learn from their experiences.

This session is also to hear the voices of those who have faced issues and could share their experiences. So We can get more ideas and as an Open Source, be more inclusive.
