I actually thought about this while I was scrolling. I have the impression that women are over-represented, just for the sake of being politically correct. According to Wikipedia: A 2002 survey of 2,784 open-source-software developers found that 1.1% of them were women.[3]
A 2013 survey of 2,183 open-source contributors found that 81.4% were men and 10.4% were women.[4] This survey included both software contributors and non-software contributors and women were much more likely to be non-software contributors.[5]
A 2017 survey of 5,500 contributors to projects on GitHub found that 95% of contributors were men and 3% were women.[6] |
