Sessions
Open source researchers are increasingly challenged while navigating the data which open source communities inherently create when working in the open. While mining software repositories for insights into open source practices isn't new, moving beyond code analysis into ecosystems-level research does not have a clear path. This talk will outline the current ethical, legal, and policy challenges community leaders, as well as researchers in academia and industry face and the ambiguous areas decision makers should be aware of.
If we fundamentally believe that "Open source is for everyone", how do we know we are actually bringing everyone in, meeting them where they are, and fostering a diverse and inclusive open source ecosystem? Our open source team has evolved our practices for measuring open source communities, and the impact we have on them. In this talk, we'll cover patterns and anti-patterns we have learned about measuring diversity in global open source communities.
