The term “Open” in Open Source should be fundamentally about access, empowerment and participation of all people. However, looking at the open source ecosystem today we can all agree that we are lagging behind in upholding this. In the past decade, representation of women in open source has inched up merely 1.5% to a shockingly low 3%. This result is a proof that open source communities need to make more intentional efforts to ensure a more diverse and inclusive community. In this talk, Zainab is going to be discussing on ways open source communities can actively and intentionally encourage diversity and inclusion within their communities.
