Gender diversity in the Free Software community
From 33C3_Public_Wiki
| Description | Only about 3% of contributors in free software are women (even though 25% of software developers are) – a considerable gap compared to male contributors. There are many reasons for this, and some we want to talk about are: - Is the environment friendly enough? - What can free software projects & companies do to fix the gap? - Why do we need the diversity?
Greta Doçi is an ICT engineer, active in Wikimedia and the Albanian open source community. Jan-Christoph Borchardt is an interaction designer working on Nextcloud and Open Source Design. They both want to push gender diversity in free & open source software. |
