The numbers on open source
© 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation17
Open source is eating the world
78% of companies use and 63% participate in open
source.
© 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation18
Developers:
Women
Men
But open source is (even) less representative than
tech overall
© 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation19
Women are just as interested as men in
contributing to open source, but are
2x
as likely to
have a
negative
encounter
50%
less likely to
ask for help
in a public
forum
50%
less likely to
receive
unsolicited
help

Impact is both personal and universal
“Half of contributors say that their open source
work... [helped] get their current role”
