Hi Pine,
Thank you for sharing your experience at State of the Map USA. In the talk on Wednesday, I was referring to a survey of 426 OSM contributors by Haklay and Budhathoki [1] from 2010 where 96% of participants said they were male.

Thanks, Andrew

For what it's worth, I noted that when I tended the State of the Map USA conference last year, there seemed to be a *higher* representation of women in the conference than there were at the WikiConference USA events that I've attended. I was surprised to hear the presenter say that OSM has 95%+ male participation, and I'd like to know the origin of that number. I was so impressed by the relatively high percentage of female participants at State of the Map USA that I had a conversation with one of the organizers about how OSM seemed to be much more successful than Wikimedia at engaging female contributors. Perhaps there are at least some places in which OSM has relatively good gender diversity.
