Group: Women's Caucus/Resources/Getting started

 

From LibrePlanet
< Group:Women's Caucus‎ | Resources
Jump to: navigation, search  

This is a synthesis of many conversations on the topic of increasing women's participation in free software. Special thanks to everyone who participated in 2009 Summit and the 2010 Caucus for your input!

Barriers to women's participation

  • Shortage of female role models within the free software community
  • The perception that it is not OK to make mistakes
  • Non-coding roles (often filled by women) are undervalued in many parts of the free software movement
  • Women in free software often feel isolated or "other"
  • Finances are more likely to be an obstacle for women than for men
  • Sexist behavior online or in person
  • Girls are not being exposed to free software

    • Some things we recommend

    Go back to the resources page for some of our more detailed recommendations.
