Diversity

***NOTE: This is currently a DRAFT in progress***

Diversity and the OSGeo Foundation

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, OSGeo, supports diversity in the community, where diversity means that OSGeo community members can safely interact, contribute, share, learn, and be respected for who they are. Diversity involves acceptance and respect for many differences, such as ethnicity, race, cultural traditions, religious expressions, age, gender, socio‐economic status, mental or physical ability and sexual orientation. OSGeo strives to foster growth and innovation in the geospatial industry, and diversity must be respected to reach this goal.

Where Diversity Applies in OSGeo

Diversity and its acceptance applies to anything involving the OSGeo Foundation, including mailing lists, projects, code sprints and events.

Handling Diversity Issues

Reports of those not following OSGeo's diversity will be investigated, and disciplinary actions may occur.
