OSCON keynote: Standing out in the crowd

[Posted July 27, 2009 by corbet]

Kirrily Robert’s OSCON keynote on encouraging women in open source has received a number of great reviews. For those who missed it, Kirrily has posted the text and slides from the talk. "The FLOSSPOLS survey asked open source contributors whether they had witnessed sexism, harrassment, or discrimination in our community. Here’s what they found: 80% of women had noticed sexism in the open source community. 80% of men never noticed anything. That’s a pretty big gap."
