了解开放源码对性别相关GitHub项目的兴趣

Towards Understanding the Open Source Interest in Gender-Related GitHub Projects

Rita Garcia, Christoph Treude, Wendy La

摘要:

开源社区使用GitHub平台来交换和共享感兴趣的软件应用程序和服务。本文旨在确定开源社区对GitHub上性别相关项目的兴趣。我们的研究结果创造了研究机会,并通过开源社区识别资源,促进多样性,公平和包容性。我们使用数据采掘来识别关注性别相关主题的GitHub项目。我们应用定量和定性的方法来检查项目的属性,并将其归类为性别社会结构和性别偏见分类。我们的目标是通过积极的项目来了解开源社区在性别主题方面的努力和兴趣。在本文中,我们报告了侧重于特定性别主题的项目的优势,并确定了那些重点狭窄的项目。我们研究的项目侧重于性别偏见,以及他们如何解决这种非包容性的行为。结果显示,GitHub项目倾向于识别和检测个人的性别,而缺乏关注女性和男性文化期望的项目。在性别偏见领域,项目主要侧重于职业偏见。这些发现为解决GitHub对性别相关主题的有限关注提供了机会,可以通过开发减轻排他性行为的项目。

英文摘要:

The open-source community uses the GitHub platform to exchange and share software applications and services of interest. This paper aims to identify the open-source community's interest in gender-related projects on GitHub. Our findings create research opportunities and identify resources by the open-source community that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. We use data mining to identify GitHub projects that focus on gender-related topics. We apply quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine the projects' attributes and to classify them within a gender social structure and a gender bias taxonomy. We aim to understand the open-source community's efforts and interests in gender topics through active projects. In this paper, we report on a preponderance of projects focusing on specific gender topics and identify those with a narrow focus. We examine projects focusing on gender bias and how they address this non-inclusive behaviour. Results show a propensity of GitHub projects focusing on recognising and detecting an individual's gender and a dearth of projects concentrating on the cultural expectations placed on women and men. In the gender bias domain, the projects mainly focus on occupational biases. These findings raise opportunities to address the limited focus of GitHub on gender-related topics through developing projects that mitigate exclusive behaviours.
