In 2016, a software developer named David and I met to discuss creating a quan- titative demographic survey of the open source software community to which we were both long-time contributors. David and I did not know each other well, but shared a belief that our open source community (OSC, hereafter) was an un- safe place for anyone who did not identify as white, cisgendered, heterosexual and male. That lack of safety was further complicated by any one individual’s distance from privileged modes of contribution.
