论文摘要
开源软件开发中的性别多样性仍然是研究人员，从业人员和组织中日益增长的兴趣的话题。迄今为止，研究揭示了开发商之间的参与差异，而女性在开源开发中的人数大大不足。使用大型数据集为开源项目中的多样性研究，我们通过表征GITHUB中基于性别的参与差异与群体组成之间的关系来为这项工作做出贡献。我们发现，与被确定为男性的贡献者相比，开源项目的贡献者和未知性别的贡献者的任期更短。此外，在团队级别上，我们发现具有混合性别组成的项目团队与较低的营业额有关，并且平台任期分配方面差异更大的团队与更高的营业额相关。最后，我们的案例研究表明，当观看整个团队时，GitHub用户更有可能留在一个项目中，而不是在贡献后离开，但是专门研究女性时，用户更有可能离开而不是在为项目做出贡献后留下。
Gender diversity in open source software development continues to be a topic of growing interest among researchers, practitioners, and organizations. To date, research has revealed disparities in participation between developers on the basis of gender, with women being significantly underrepresented in open source development. Using a large data set curated for studies of diversity in open source projects, we contribute to this body of work by characterizing the relationship between gender-based participation differences and group composition in GitHub. We found that contributors identified as women and contributors of unknown gender have a shorter tenure in open source projects compared to those identified as men. Additionally, at the team level, we found that project teams with mixed-gender composition were associated with lower turnover and teams with greater disparity in the distribution of platform tenure were associated with higher turnover. Finally, our case study reveals that when looking at the entire team, GitHub users were more likely to remain in a project rather than leave after contributing but when looking at women specifically, users were more likely to leave rather than remain after contributing to a project.
