Diversity Lunch
summary
Lunch reports that Google and Heptio sponsor scholarships that first brought five winners (three returnees), and companies are changing hiring by resetting job levels with salary attached to reduce bias. Kubernetes community lists seven mentoring programs: meet our contributors, one-on-one hour, group mentoring, release-team shadow roles; SIGs and docs need contributors now. Python outreach doubles submissions and reaches 40% women speakers by emailing known women. Concrete actions: join a SIG, pick a mentor slot, file doc issues, or run anonymous hiring pilots.
