Lifting my head out of arcade repair mania just long enough to help Jason and Alexis celebrate the “Women Who Shaped Open source and the Web.” Jason’s second installment in his “Support Systems” series shouts out women leaders in open source over the last two decades, such as Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker and former GNOME Foundation executive director Stormy Peters.
What’s more, earlier this month Alexis took to the blog making a call for folks to promote web projects built by women. You can read (and submit your own example) on the original post, but I’ll excerpt the heart of it here:
In honor of Women’s History Month in the U.S. and International Women’s History Day this past Sunday, March 8th, we’re highlighting the incredible work being created by women across our community.
Throughout March, we’re inviting our female-identifying users to share projects they’ve built, launched, or are currently working on using our platform. In a future blog post, we’ll feature a showcase of submissions to celebrate the creativity, innovation, and impact of the women of Reclaim.
Pretty cool, so we’re currently taking submissions that will be featured and celebrated, which is something we should do a lot more of on the web. So if you have a project in mind and a second to share it, we would be much obliged, as I’m the women who created it would as well.
