Must it Always be about Sex
summary
Community data shows worrying gaps: AP CS 18% female (2009), CS degrees 18% women down from 37% (1985), Ruby events around 5–6% women (750 attendees 39 women; 500 attendees 30 women) and open source about 1% women. Research using Project Implicit reveals measurable bias and resume/name studies show white male names get up to twice the callbacks. Mobile focus misses users on Nokia 1100 (250 million sold). Practical fixes include anonymize applications, change job language, and fund outreach programs.
