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.

I'm not seeing any diversity in those photos. Everyone has perfect teeth, rosy faces, and I think everyone is wearing lipstick. Where are the hillbillies? How come no one has a golden tooth? Why no midgets? What do they have against people with facial scars?

Those people don't exist in our shiny, new world.
