That's the "writing proprietary software gratis" community.

Maybe that shows that few women are dumb enough to write proprietary software without getting paid?

>U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Checking the U.S. Bureau;
<job> <total wagies> <percent women> (yes, there is no percentage for men)
Computer and mathematical occupations 6,502 26.9
Computer systems analysts 513 37.8
Information security analysts 231 19.3
Computer programmers 402 21.5
Software developers 2,134 20.2
Software quality assurance analysts and testers 76 44.1
Web developers 76 19.4
Web and digital interface designers 79 42.7
Computer support specialists 687 26.2
Database administrators and architects 122 30.8
Network and computer systems administrators 202 16.7
Computer network architects 104 7.7
Computer occupations, all other 1,197 26.0

I don't get where they got the 23% from, but this shows that the percentage of women employed in computing seems above 23%.

These statistics also point out how few proprietary software developers are actually employed and how ridiculous the power they are endowed is.


Free software communities tend to be free of doxing - nobody asks if you are male or female and nobody who is there for the freedom cares either.
