Open Source Diversity at FOSDEM 2020
- 1 minute readI'm excited about going to FOSDEM 2020 for many reasons.
I'll be giving a talk on Dataverse.
I've also been keeping any eye on a thread on the Open Source Diversity forum about who to look for at FOSDEM.
Open source has a pretty terrible track record when it comes to diversity. A 2017 survey by GitHub indicates how male-dominated open source is by saying,
“The gender imbalance in open source remains profound: 95% of respondents are men; just 3% are women and 1% are non-binary.”
The FOSDEM stands page doesn't yet list Eco Hacker Farm but someone from there kicked off the thread. There's also CHAOSScon going on the day before.
