Demystifying open source, making it a welcoming community, showing newcomers on-ramps and mentorship programs have been some ways to diversify open source contributors. With the growth in digital work and open source fueling it, we need a lot of developers getting involved. And diverse contributors bring a broader thinking to the table which is needed. Also recognizing all forms of contribution is important to be a welcoming community. Coding is not the only way to contribute, we need legal minds like Heather Meeker, we need documentation experts, community building experts, marketing etc.
My favorite recipe is from a cookbook called Vibrant India by Chitra Agrawal. It recreates my childwood dal or lentils and is so easy to make. It is called Mixed Vegetables and Lentil Stew or Tharakaari Huli.
