Diversity in Open Source, an Asian Perspective
summary
Asia supplies 60% of the world yet open source voices remain concentrated in North America and Europe; data from the Octoverse and Linux Foundation show participation is high but visibility is low, and contributions mostly come from China and India rather than across 40+ Asian countries. Barriers are concrete: 7.5 million GitHub users coexist with widespread use of Gitee and local platforms, time‑zone exclusion from meetings, company policies lacking OSPO support, and less than 1% English in China—though Zoom auto-translation helps and documentation in local languages plus rotating meeting times improve inclusion.
