Research: Effects of Gender Socialization on Females in Open Source

I just heard about ohloh today via Twitter and decided it would be a good opportunity to promote my research regarding open source.

The title is pretty self-explanatory and i will be presenting my final paper and research results at the AITP (Association of IT Professionals) National Collegiate Conference in Oklahoma City in April.

I've been looking for more people to complete a quick survey for me so if you are interested, more information can be found at http://osfemales.short-stack.net.

Females only, please. :)

Constructive criticism and feedback are much appreciated.

Hi shortstack,

Welcome to ohloh! Great research topic. I've promoted a link from our front page announcements to help out. Best of luck!

I appreciate it.

Also, I love Denmark. I went on an IT business trip to Copenhagen in 2007.

We visited Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway to study IT in Scandinavian business practices. We went to the Copenhagen Business School, the Swedish Tax Agency, Trolltech, and about 4 other companies over a month. Trolltech was fascinating because (you might already know this) they make KDE and Qt, and I don't think they are even called Trolltech anymore.

Copenhagen is incredible, though. Fell in love with it.

Cool :)

Have you talked with Christel from Freenode about your project? She has been involved in Gentoo, Exherbo, Irssi, ReactOS, OFTC and is the head of the Freenode project (which is probably the biggest FOSS-community project currently existing).

Christel was the person who recruited me into Gentoo back when I was still a new FOSS-developer. She is defiantly worth poking :)

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely get in touch with her. :)
