The cloud native community prides itself on being open, innovative, and collaborative. However, systemic barriers to diversity and inclusion persist—even here. The TAG Contributor Strategy's new BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) initiative aims to address these challenges and foster a more equitable ecosystem.
In this lightning talk, we'll explore the "what," "why," and "how" of this initiative. What is the BIPOC initiative? A collective dedicated to empowering underrepresented voices in the cloud native space. Why does this matter? Despite our community's inclusive aspirations, barriers to participation remain, limiting the perspectives and contributions that drive innovation. How are we making a difference? Through advocacy efforts, building a supportive network, and increasing visibility for BIPOC professionals. Join us to learn about the tangible steps we're taking to create an inclusive space and the role you play in creating a more diverse cloud native future.
