Gender Bender
Recently I read the post woman and mozilla, concerning the contributions of women in the FLOSS world. It set me thinking about differences between contributions of men vs woman to miro testing.
From observations of the bug list and regression tests, I’d say that we have a greater percentage of men who regularly download nightly builds and provide feedback in the form of bug reports. However, from litmus, I can see that people who more regularly run the regression test cases are woman.
We should bust the stereotypes that woman are less assertive men won’t follow the instructions. We’re gearing up for another round of testing pretty soon, so when the call comes to help:
- Men: read the directions!
- Woman: write some bugs!
