Thanks for your interest in contributing data! Here's the information I am collecting for each entry in this repository:

  • number of female engineers
  • number of total engineers
  • data collection date

For the purposes of this project, I am counting "female engineers" as women who are writing or architecting software, and are in full-time roles. This generally does not include people just writing HTML/CSS (depending on the level of sophistication of the CSS being written), data scientists (depending on the split of work between doing analysis and building systems and reusable code), designers, PMs, sysadmins, etc. although the line can be blurry for people who are in mixed roles, like engineering managers who were formerly ICs and still contribute code -- use your judgment. Only full-time employees please; no interns or contractors.

To contribute numbers for a company or team, whether your own or another, you can either

  1. Send the information to me via Twitter at @triketora or message me via the contact form on my website. I am happy to anonymize contributions if they are sensitive.

  2. Submit a pull request amending data.txt (click this link to easily submit a pull request: https://github.com/triketora/women-in-software-eng/edit/master/data.txt),

    in the git commit message include:

    • the contributor (the person providing the data, preferably with qualifications, and a contact method such as Twitter handle) and
    • source (e.g. internal headcount, /about team page count, etc.).

    The submitter of the PR does not have to be the contributor of the data. For example:

    https://github.com/triketora/women-in-software-eng/commit/e9d76a956512247fd5f8a9a2e220a4ca403b5452

    Adding Rent the Runway.

Contributor: Camille Fournier, VP Architecture at Rent the Runway,
    @skamille
Source: internal headcount

Rent the Runway is 7 out of 32 if you just count dev + ops, 10 out of
37 if you count QA, 11 out of 39 if you count all the people I manage.

    It may be helpful to add your entry somewhere besides the end of the list, since everyone submitting to the end of the file means merge conflict party.
