Not entirely on topic for the list, but I thought people here might be interested in this.

About 17% of Google's workforce is female and about 35% of Yahoo's workforce is female. Overall about 15% of folks who work in technology related fields are female.
Does anyone have statistics on how the Wikimedia Foundation is doing when it comes to hiring women?
Thank you,

There is this http://m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff_and_contractors
More women work in the outreach/grant/HR world that typical technical departments.
I worked on the 6th floor and the majority of staff on that floor on any given day often was women.
3rd floor was like a totally different world.

According to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/a/hypatia.ca/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlZH8QBl60oodEJTdF... WMF has <7% women engineers. No idea how up to date the data is, but it lives on github if someone feels like correcting it: https://github.com/triketora/women-in-software-eng
