As a comment to@Janani Ravimessage, I think the following the also relevant: > > Today, I read this article “The retention problem: Women are going into tech but are also being driven out”, that specifically mentions open source projects. Among the suggestions they have to have more welcoming project, several have been put in place by Bioconductor. There is also mention of spaces that are mainly but not exclusively for women and cite Fedora Women or Debian Women. I know that several people in the project are also involved in or interact with R-ladies. But I was wondering of a Bioconductor equivalent to the above would be welcome? - Attachment (The Conversation): The retention problem: Women are going into tech but are also being driven out > Women are severely underrepresented in tech. Strength in numbers – communities for women and women mentoring women – can counter tech’s sexist culture and help retain women in the field.
Jenny Drnevich (09:41:13): > I found this line mind-blowing: > “Seventy percent of all the software that supports technology infrastructure is open source, which makes open-source software integral to the future of the tech workforce. Yet womenmake up only 9.8%of the people who contribute to open-source software projects.” > Any idea what Bioconductor’s contributor break down by gender is?
Jenny Drnevich (09:41:31): > I feel like we must be higher than the average!
Janani Ravi (09:45:03) (in thread): > Yup, this is unfortunately very true indeed!! that’s why we were working with R-Ladies and women+ data science! Retention is a major problem, often not spoken of!! We should see if there’s anything we can contribute via this space.

Charlotte Soneson (05:08:59) (in thread): > There was a discussion about this in the#diversebiocchannel a few years ago. FWIW, without being an expert here, and withbigcaveats that I feel make the precise numbers somewhat meaningless, including (1) databases assuming that gender is binary and can be inferred from the reported name, (2) name databases being incomplete and coverage being very geographically biased, (3) not all maintainers actually providing a name (e.g. just initials, ‘Bioconductor Package Maintainer’ :https://community-bioc.slack.com/archives/CL21357E2/p1561885679036800 - Attachment: Attachment > https://community-bioc.slack.com/archives/CL21357E2/p1561755991011300 FWIW, I tried this approach some time ago, and I found it quite difficult to get reliable results in an automated way, especially without additional information (for example, many names are typically male in some countries and typically female in other). The gender and genderizeR packages implement several “methods” (underlying data sets), but there didn’t seem to be enough geographic diversity in any of them, and there were lots of names that were not assigned (including, of course, all the maintainers only providing initials), or that I could identify as misassigned by manual inspection. As an example though, these are the results I would get with two of the methods that seemed to do “best” (numbers represent unique maintainers, not packages): > genderize > kantrowitz female male <NA> > either 16 69 0 > female 111 8 0 > male 1 456 0 > <NA> 113 223 167

2023-03-13
Erica Feick (12:25:15) (in thread): > So it turns out we only asked pronouns on Open Review, not eh registration form. so if what could easily be identified from the registration list for bioc22, we had 91 female, 127 males and 204 unknown.
Erica Feick (12:25:36) (in thread): > We are asking for pronouns this year on the reg form, but it is an optional question.

Janani Ravi (12:40:43): > Hi everyone<!here>, > I wanted to briefly follow up on ourApr 5 callw/ R-Ladies/remote leadership. > > BioC2023 + R-Ladies | satellite eventsWe can host BioC satellite events as watch parties w/ additional local talks/professional networking/BoF events. These can be co-hosted with local R-Ladies meetup groups or maybe RUGs, although R-Ladies are centralized and have dedicated branding/followers — easy to reach out to and work with them. > > Are any local attendees interested in hosting BoF/lunch for BioC R-Ladies? That’s perfectly fine — we can go for it!Kick-off partnership with a blog postWe don’t yet know what to officially call our R-Ladies + BioC partnership, but we can start by announcing it to the world with a blog post/tweet/mastodon/pigeon post!Joint events | R-Ladies + BioCAlso, we can begin hosting R-LadiesXYZ(local chapter) (or R-Ladies Remote) + BioC joint events right away using the local unit’s meetup audience. These can be remote/hybrid events for maximal impact — maybe the host can pick their local chapter to host, and other chapters can advertise too. Again, based on how this takes off, we can figure out next steps for our partnership. For these, we can use their meetup, zoom, calendly, YouTube, etc.Partnership name/typeR-Ladies has never done anything like this before — so they are open to this collaboration/partnership but aren’t sure if having a remote chapter/unit for BioC is the best way to go (at least not yet)! They need to set precedence in case carpentries, rOpenSci, miR, and other R communities want this R-Ladies + X chapter too. > > > > Qs? comments?

Jenny Drnevich (09:38:09) (in thread): > Hi@Harshithawe are literally writing a paper about this right now and hope to submit by the end of the summer. Besides each package’s vignettes, I’d recommend working through the 3 Carpentries-style workshops we have developed:https://bioconductor.org/help/education-training/. The first, bioc-intro, is a general introduction to R. The second, bioc-rnaseq, is intermediate and focused on analysis of RNA-Seq data. The third, bioc-project, is an introduction to Bioconductor specifically, it’s history, the website layout, how to find packages you need, and some of the common S4 data structures used acrossed Bioc packages. - Attachment (bioconductor.org): Bioconductor > The Bioconductor project aims to develop and share open source software for precise and repeatable analysis of biological data.
