Women currently make up only 5% of contributors to Ubuntu, 2% of Debian, and 1.5% of other FLOSS projects. The document calls for higher participation of women in FLOSS, noting that diversity and multiple perspectives are valuable resources. It discusses reducing prejudices as a reason for low participation, and provides information on initiatives like ubuntu-women.com to involve more women in Ubuntu and other open source projects in Italy through collaboration.
