So, a question:

What programing languages and operating systems have the most diverse folks "in charge"? Who are the most inclusive? Who as at least as many women as men? What projects are steered by a full chorus of LGBTQIA+ folks? Where are BIPOC putting their energy and power?

'Cause every time we complain about a fash we should lift up the work they fight against two times.

Boots welcome. Replies from straight white dudes will be scrolled past.

In terms of OS stuff; Lix (Nix compatible package manager) is the most diverse little project I know.

Apart from that KDE also seems *very* inclusive, if somewhat less diverse. They unveiled a non-binary mascot this past Pride Month, Kori, who literally hatched from an egg xD

Thanks, I guess.

XMPP and Debian as well.

OS: Linux, especially Arch and Gentoo I think, but any Linux is definitly ok.

There aren't many women in active developing of these projects (women are a minority in all of IT, for some weird reason), but the project I mentioned are sure very LGBTQ+ friendly and very inclusive in general.

In my opinion though using inclusive projects or avoiding the white heterosexual cisgender man is not the point; the point is to eliminate any kind of discrimination directly. I mean, I don't give a damn if the person who makes a program is male, female, white, black, hetero, gay etc; if it's a good program I'll use it. That's real equality for me!

The PSF staff, board, and PyCon committees are mostly women, including PoC and non-Americans. The PSF turned down a $1.5 million NSF grant because the Trump admin attached "no DEI" strings to it.
