Session: It Takes a Village
IEEE is a NonProfit with over 420K members in 180 Countries. We wanted to create a platform that would be in existence not for the next 3-5 years but instead for the next couple of decades to support our standards making process. We have a very diverse community. One of the first things we decided to focus on is Role Diversity. In this presentation, we will talk about how we are in the process of creating and automating those processes. In true IEEE fashion, these processes are being created by our volunteers in a very open transparent fashion. Being 100% Open Source is a key philosophy that drives this community forward. I will review our entire community architecture. We will illustrate how we are supporting everyone: nonprofit users, designers, social media mavens, product managers, and more. Complete with checklist, templates, and process diagrams.
