About this listen
In this episode, hosts Jodi Ashley and Tracy Ragan are joined by Katherine Druckman (Intel) as they delve into the troubling sexism still present in the tech industry, sparked by a recent incident at the Black Hat conference. We explore the broader challenges women face in tech — especially in open source, where representation remains staggeringly low — and examine the cultural and historical forces behind this disparity. Our discussion includes actionable strategies for fostering inclusion, from mentorship programs to creating safer, more constructive environments for women to share their technical expertise. Join us as we uncover the barriers to diversity and how we can collectively reshape the narrative around women’s contributions to computing and open source innovation.
