• Among 64 long-standing ACM conferences, most had 20%-25% women authors
• Most men and women published on topics of design and theory
• Women were more likelyto publish on human factors and less likely to publishon algorithms

Open Source Lacks Gender Diversity
• Only 1.5% of all Open Source Software (OSS) developers are women.
• Anecdotal evidence suggests that the open source community is less than welcoming to women.
