@oleg-nenashev should each project have a Inclusivity Statement like the Code Of Conduct?

No update to the application proposal as of today.

Hey, @zestyroxy I'm happy to work with you on this I will reach out to you on slack.

Sounds great @bradmccoydev. If you can create a Gdoc with the main points, we can collaborate there.

FYI @bradmccoydev @afrittoli @zestyroxy it is not just the checklist. We have already submitted the application together with @tracymiranda . It application has been waiting for the Linux Foundation for more than one year by now. At some points, @caniszczyk and @fdegir took action items to look into it, but it has not happened yet due to other priorities. I also stopped pushing it after some time, especially since the Inclusive Naming Initiative seems to be rather dead than alive on its own after the leaders left. We cannot really act until somebody from the Linux Foundation takes care of enrollment

But yeah, @bradmccoydev is right. Since they formally added the CDF, I think we could assume the enrollment is completed. I received no communication from the INI/LF as far as I can tell, but it should not block us. The membership still has some community and marketing value

Thanks @oleg-nenashev for the clarification

The CDF is marked as "associate sponsor" on the initiative website https://inclusivenaming.org/
