雖然難以找到最近的統計資料,但人們經常引用的2006年FLOSS -POLS報告表明,只有1.5%的開源貢獻者是婦女。
然而,真正的衝擊出現在我第一次看到FLOSS的數字。
他們把2020年的景象描繪成玫瑰*的,在這個美好樂觀的遠景中,FLOSS將加入到軟件行業的主流,並且有助於縮小貧富之間的數字鴻溝。
“ 2020年FLOSS路標”這份報告的作者就2020年自由和開源軟件(FLOSS)的作用作出若干預測,併為業界推薦80項建議。
Recent statistics are hard to find, though a frequently cited FLOSS-POLS report from 2006 suggested that only 1.5% of open source contributors were women.
They painted a rosy vision of 2020 in which FLOSS will have entered the mainstream of the software industry and contributed to reducing the digital divide between rich and poor.
Will FLOSS be more secure because of all the public scrutiny that's possible?
The real shock, however, came the first time I saw the FLOSS number.
