Diversity Makes Projects More Successful

Open source projects are by their nature intended to be welcoming, pulling in contributions from many different volunteers. But in reality, open source and the tech industry in general often lack diversity. Speaking at the Open Source Leadership Summit in February, Mozilla's Chief Innovation Officer Katharina Borchert told the crowd that working to bring ethnic, gender, and skill diversity to open source projects isn't just the right thing to do because of moral grounds, it's the right thing to do to make projects more successful.

Me, I beg to differ. Pretty sure success has to do with the diversity of thought/ideas rather than genetic diversity.

    Sweety, unless I just can't be arsed to (everyone has those days), I respond to everyone. Don't worry though, you're still special for other reasons.

    You're another one what doesn't know the first rule of holes, Pocahontas. I'm going to keep mocking you until you drop dead of a what-passes-for-a-brain-with-you aneurysm.

        Not even you believe that, Chief Shitting Bull. If you did, you wouldn't keep responding to every---single---post---I make like an abandoned special needs kid wondering why his mommy doesn't love him anymore.

          Meh, if you're just going to spout provably false nonsense, I think we're done for now.

            We were done about 12 posts ago when I handed you your fat Bud-swilling ass :) You're not foolin' no one but you, Pocahontas.
