I actually have interest in the gender of Wikimedia fundraising
donors, I think I've voiced that interest publicly a few times, in
the past. Perhaps next fundraiser we'll be able to explore
opportunities like that, or maybe WMF and chapters are gathering
data related to gender.
I was hoping to see a bigger push towards having women represented
in the fundraiser, with hope perhaps it'd attract female donors, and
even female contributors, (or donors and contributors in general of
course) but, there has been only one woman who has been showcased,
thus far.
