OpenHatch: Celebrating our successes and winding down as an organization

OpenHatch: Celebrating our successes and winding down as an organization

[Briefs] Posted May 15, 2017 16:33 UTC (Mon) by ris

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.
