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.
