<http://campus.openhatch.org>Welcome to OpenHatch newsletter number 17.

*Thank you* to everyone who helped make open source more welcoming and
diverse in 2013! Our blog in December was filled with posts motivating

donate <https://openhatch.org/donate> while it is 2013 somewhere in the

from your @PyCon Diversity Outreach Chair. % PyCon talks by women:
(2011: 1%), (2012: 7%), (2013: 15%), (2014: 33%). Outreach works."

Igor Steinmacher is doing research on problems faced by newcomers to
open source software <http://www.igor.pro.br/newcomers.php>:

    I am investigating ways to *support new Open Source contributors*
    during their first steps in the project. My final goal is to verify
    what kind of tooling is appropriate to support the newcomers
    overcoming their difficulties when they are willing to contribute to
    the project.

    I want to talk to people who *experienced problems when onboarding
    Open Source Software* projects. I am interested both in people that
    faced issues when trying to contribute and could not make it and
    those who just started their contribution to an Open Source project.

Get in touch with Igor at the link.
