Chen believes that women have a natural ability to see the big picture and to think creatively. These skills are essential for developing successful open source projects.

"Open source is not just about writing code," says Chen. "It's also about building community and creating a sustainable ecosystem. Women are often very good at these things, and they can play a vital role in the success of open source projects."

Chen is passionate about encouraging women to get involved in open source. She is a mentor for the Girl Geek Dinner Hangzhou chapter, and she frequently speaks at events to promote diversity in tech.

"I want to show women that they can be successful in tech," says Chen. "I want to encourage them to pursue their dreams and to make their voices heard."
