[Announce] Gender (im)balance in African FOSS communities

[sksowe]

Dear All,
I am analyzing preliminary results from my FOSSDeva survey 
(http://servnet.ias.unu.edu/limesurvey/index.php?sid=86668&newtest=Y&lang=en).

Result (N =205) i got is 82.93% males and 14.63% females.
Am i right in assuming that there is more female participation in 
African FOSS communities than reported elsewhere in the literature ? 
such as:

In my assumption and survey, i have not investigated whether the two 
genders are involved in different activities (e.g. coding, project 
management, advocacy, bug reporting and fixing, etc.)
