Title: Study Finds Gender Bias in Open Source Community Post by: HCK on May 03, 2017, 04:05:17 pm Study Finds Gender Bias in Open Source Community
Gender bias affects contributions to the open source community, according to a paper published Monday. Female programmers' suggestions for code changes in open source projects -- called "pull requests" -- were accepted more often than those of their male counterparts when gender was unspecified. However, that changed when the gender of a pull request's author could be identified. Source: Study Finds Gender Bias in Open Source Community (http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84497.html?rss=1) |
