Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 5
6 This Talk Why so few female FLOSS developers? FLOSSPOLS gender study Grassroots efforts: Debian Women Project GNOME Women's Summer Outreach Program New research directions: Statistical analysis of community data Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 6
7 This Talk Why so few female FLOSS developers? FLOSSPOLS gender study Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 7
8 FLOSSPOLS Project Academic study of FLOSS: Funded by the European Commission March 2004 to February 2006 Three strands of research: one on gender Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 8
9 Gender Strand: Researchers James Leach, Dawn Nafus, Bernhard Krieger (University of Cambridge) Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 9
10 Gender Strand: Aims Produce the first study of gender in FLOSS Gather socioeconomic data Identify reasons for the gender bias Establish policy recommendations for change Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 10
11 Gender Strand: Methodology Ethnographic methodology: Unstructured and semistructured interviews Participant observation (both online and in-person) Quantitative methodology: Online survey (1,541 participants) Qualitative and quantitative methods used iteratively Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 11
12 Would more female participants be better for the whole FLOSS community? % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% yes no 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 12
13 Are women just not interested in FLOSS? Or are they being excluded?
14 Active (But Unconscious) Exclusion Active but unconscious exclusion: Joking about women ( if it's a joke, it's okay ) Using women as examples of nontechnical users Assuming that society does not affect choices Viewing coding as superior to other skills Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 14
15 Have you ever observed discriminatory behaviour toward women? % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% yes no 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 15
16 Does the hacker identity alienate women?
17 Do I Have To Have A Beard? Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 17
18 Do women have as much experience as men?
19 Later, Later, Later... male female age of first computer use age of first computer possession year of intial F/LOSS involvement Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 19
20 Is code the only thing that matters?
21 Typical Tasks Men: Writing code Testing Bug reports Technical tasks? Women: Documentation Organising events Translation Social tasks? Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 21
22 For whom is it easier to get acknowledgement for FLOSS work? % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% men women neither 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 22
23 Do women get more attention for their gender or their skills?
24 Women often get more attention as a woman than as a FLOSS participant % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% very true mainly true mainly False very false 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 24
25 Have you ever been asked on a date by another FLOSS participant? % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% often seldom never 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 25
26 Are there too many flamewars?
27 Flamewars vs. Confidence Flaming can be a key means of developing reputation: Used as a platform to increase visibility More established participants less likely to flame Flaming exacerbates women's confidence issues Loss of confidence precedes loss of interest Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 27
28 Do women have less time for FLOSS?
29 Do women have less time than men to participate in FLOSS? % 90.00% 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% very true mainly true mainly False very false 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% male female Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 29
30 Summary of Findings Active (but unconscious) exclusion Later involvement in computing More diverse (often nontechnical) skills More likely to be put off by flamewars Less time for FLOSS development Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 30
31 Men and women have very different FLOSS experiences.
32 This Talk Why so few female FLOSS developers? FLOSSPOLS gender study Grassroots efforts: Debian Women Project GNOME Women's Summer Outreach Program Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 32
33 Debian GNU/Linux Linux distribution (computer operating system) Linux kernel, GNU OS tools >15,000 packages Strict adherence to free software philosophies Largely developed by a group of volunteers Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 33
34 Universal Operating System? Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 34
35 The Debian Women Project First such project for any free software project Support and encourage female Debian developers: Role models for women Tutorials on Debian-related topics Mentoring project Presentations at conferences Word-of-mouth advocacy Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 35
36 Unexpected Findings Active involvement of men is important: Different kind of diversity! What's good for women is good for everyone Establishing critical mass is necessary for recruitment Multiple entry points helps matching people to projects Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 36
37 GNOME Desktop Project Desktop environment (GUI) for users Development framework for building applications Part of many different Linux distributions Many components and projects Developed by both volunteers & companies Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 37
38 GNOME & GSoC 2006 Google's Summer of Code (GSoC): Students funded to work on free software projects Students paired up with mentors In 2006, GNOME had 181 GSoC applicants: None of the applicants were women Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 38
39 Women's Summer Outreach Program 3 positions funded by the GNOME Foundation Board Specifically targeted at women Identical to GSoC (except for duration) Different language of advertising Personal, word-of-mouth advertising Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 39
40 Outcomes & Findings Initial skepticism within GNOME: Will you really find 3 good applicants Over 200 women ed expressing interest Over 100 well-qualified applicants: Many didn't realize they were qualified! Targeted, personal advertising really matters Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 40
41 This Talk Why so few female FOSS developers: FLOSSPOLS gender study Grassroots efforts: Debian Women Project GNOME Women's Summer Outreach Program New research directions: Statistical analysis of community data Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 41
42 FOSS Development Communities Complex technological, legal, social structures Massively geographically distributed collaboration Social and organizational processes underlying FOSS development are largely unknown Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 42
43 FOSS Collaboration Data Most FOSS collaboration data are publicly available: Mailing lists, IRC channels Commit messages, bug reports Comments in source code, documentation GPG keysigning records Use these collaboration data to study organizational and social processes underlying FOSS development Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 43
44 Data Challenges Informal, messy, and often highly unstructured data: Developers use different identifiers in different fora IRC channels have multiple interleaved conversations Mix of highly technical and off-topic discussion Conversational style is often casual Significant text analysis is required prior to developing models for answering social science questions Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 44
45 Analyzing Debian Mailing Lists Quoted text and signatures stripped Debian-project mailing list: 19,347 messages words (max. 7,916 per message) Debian-women mailing list: 4,124 messages 228,076 words (max. 1,524 per message) Hanna M. Wallach :: UMass Amherst :: 45
