OpenHatch: Celebrating our successes and winding down as an organization
OpenHatch is a project that has been running education events and maintaining
free learning tools to help people get involved in collaborative software
development since 2009. Now Asheesh Laroia, President of the organization,
has announced
that the organization is winding down. "
OpenHatch was one part of a broader movement around improving diversity and inclusion in free software and software generally. As Mike [Linksvayer], Deb [Nicholson], and I wind down this one organization, we’re heartened by those who push the movement forward." Donations have been canceled and the remaining money will be used to gracefully shut down the organization. Anything left after that will be donated to Outreachy. OpenHatch software and websites will be moved to static website hosting.
