Women in open source

Women in open source refers to female contributors who develop, improve, and share software projects publicly. Open source software is created collaboratively, allowing anyone to view, modify, and distribute the code. Historically, women have been underrepresented in this field, facing various barriers. Promoting women in open source aims to foster diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity, enriching projects with diverse perspectives. Increasing female participation benefits the tech community by encouraging innovation, fairness, and balanced representation in technology development.
