Redis isn't UX. The hackathon isn't about "product design" either. It's a specific technology in a coding environment where 95% seems to be male. I don't know 1 female dba, which is more closely aligned than what Redis does ( I do know multiple in design/UX/Graphics ) Open source even has more males to females than tech in general. You are free to find better data than the Github survey: https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/#data https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/#data which clearly states that only 1/20 are female. Additionally: 9 people in Redis org, all male: https://github.com/orgs/redis/people https://github.com/orgs/redis/people Additionally: I can't see a single female Redis contributor: https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors They have female employees outside of coding, for sure: https://redislabs.com/company/careers/ https://redislabs.com/company/careers/ Convince me with relevant data that the judge panel is "unfair".
