While there are clear actions in favor of attracting more female developers in order to bring more diversity to the project, the OpenStack Foundation shows a similar trend with this respect.
Some numbers can be easily extracted from the Women of OpenStack group in Linkedin with more than 600 members and 137 discussion. Specific diversity-focused panels during the summits. Women of OpenStack mailing list with close 380 emails in 2015 and 90 different people commenting and changing ideas [own analysis].
