That's indeed news to me. The press releases had me assuming otherwise. I appreciate you and Steve telling me so I can get better accuracy in future conversations. What's the split of paid people to volunteers on the page I linked? Especially in compiler, language, library, and community teams?
- steveklabnik 9y agoOut of almost 60 distinct people, roughly 15 are employed by Mozilla by my quick count. It gets a bit fuzzy because some people have done things like been an intern, did a few months on contract, or something else, but that's the current count.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoWell, it's cool you have so many volunteers. Also, the lack of diversity isn't as bad as it initially appeared if we're including volunteers. There could be bias but donating time/money for good things must be a good thing by default. :) The critiques would only still apply on hiring level if the 15 were mostly white males in circumstances where more minorities could've been hired. Any suggestions or brainstorming would also still apply since they address the supply or acceptance side rather than just Rust specifically. It's just one instance where the techniques can benefit.
