I'll pull out some quotes to motivate folks to click through and read. > Developers who are new to open source, whether young or female or both, want better resources to help them contribute, but those resources are most likely going to need to come from the older males who dominate open source. That group, in turn, doesn't really see a diversity problem and is less likely to be helpful.
> We would be out-of-our-minds crazy to not want the software that runs the world to be more representative of the world that runs it. > More than anything else, we need open source communities to not foster or encourage jerk behavior. According to the GitHub survey, while roughly 15% of respondents had directly experienced rudeness in their open source communities, nearly 45% had witnessed it. As a result, 21% of people who experienced or witnessed such behavior stopped contributing to the project. These quotes *do not* represent any opinion of the gist of the article. They are for teaser purposes only.
