<p class="MsoPlainText">A new report will be published this week by the OpenStack Foundation (research conducted by Bitergia & commissioned by Intel) that examines gender diversity and retention within the OpenStack community. A continuation of the work that
Nithya Ruff spearheaded earlier, this report studies female participation in both OpenStack leadership and governance, alongside technical projects, and provides recommendations to help increase gender diversity and inclusion across open source communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
