9		-The Open Source Software community has a diversity problem. While the community is definitely aware of this issue, and there are programs and initiatives in place (such as RGSoC and Outreachy) that focus on bridging the gender gap in FOSS, contributors are still primarily male, cisgender, middle-class, or generally people who can afford contributing to Open Source in their free time. I'd like to help change that, and I think being a part of OSI is a good place to start.
