Wrote about my experience with breast cancer and the importance of genetic testing available for many mutations. In particular, 2.5% of Ashkenazi Jews have BRCA mutations with high risks of breast and ovarian cancer. Preventative steps can address risks. https://t.co/w9mP5K5S8d

(1/8) We've raised, administered, and/or facilitated US$1.7 million for our member projects this year. This fact deserves attention at a time when folks are talking extensively about the importance of funding #FOSS maintainers.

[Demetris Cheatham @dwcheatham]

Earlier this year, @marinaz, @NeishaFrederic3 and I were presenting on a panel @RedHatSummit. I noticed that the DEI stats they were using for open source was from the @github 2017 Open Source Survey. They said that was the most recent data available.
