A few key insights:

1) There are 11,000+ open jobs in Open Source across top startups, unicorns, and big tech co's.

2) Developer Relations, Tech Writer, and Community roles are all 3X more in-demand at Open Source co’s vs. the rest of tech.

3) More than half (50.4%) of Open Source roles are Remote. That makes Open Source roles more than 3X more likely to be Remote than other tech jobs (current average across tech is 16.1%).

4) There are 3 companies with 10+ Open Source projects on GitHub each with 10K+ stars: Google (27), Facebook (16), Alibaba (13).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but the practice that you describe wouldn't result in an imbalance in the ratio of men to women.

This is an exciting product with a great team (especially founder Shireen Yates). I hope they launch soon-- my girlfriend is gluten free and this would be a great kwanza/hanukah/christmas present.

This Monkeybrains outfit also tried to crowdfund $325 million for a satellite last year (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/monkeybrains-satellite). They fell $324.989484 million short, though maybe that's just because crowdfunding wasn't as mainstream a year ago. That said, SF residents probably wouldn't tolerate a satellite in their air-space... i mean space-space?
