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.

    Yup. I can tell by the shape of your head that you're doomed to be a Useful Idiot. Turn a bit to the left and I can adjust that for you though. *hefts a ball-peen hammer*

      So do you consider yourself a master troll? Or are the bulk of your posts on this site serious?

        Both, though I wouldn't consider myself a Grand Master or anything so ambitious.

    Given the physical appearance of a single tooth, one can frequently identify race.
