Retaining women in open source: Organising open source day montly #1147

Open tapaswenipathak opened 5 years ago

tapaswenipathak commented 5 years ago

Hi folks: Finding an active open source contributor or maintainer woman is hard. Internships give a break in open source, if observed there is no retention of women in open source and research[1] suggests. Implementing open source day per month letting woman work with mentor and contribute in an open source project they would like would be practical implementation than just publishing research and articles. Lemme know if you would interested in supporting and I will share further things.
