My name is Helen Shin and I am a senior majoring in computer science at Oregon State University. I am conducting a study to showcase the stories of women in open source software. Published reports say that women’s participation in open source software is low as 1.8%, and in my experience, adjusting to open source culture hasn’t been easy. My goal is to collect individual stories of success and struggle this summer, and then to follow up by publishing a report; in the upcoming school year, showcasing best practices, or “What To do/What not to do.”
