Open source projects are by their nature intended to be welcoming, pulling in contributions from many different volunteers. But in reality, open source and the tech industry in general often lack diversity. Speaking at the Open Source Leadership Summit in February, Mozilla's Chief Innovation Officer Katharina Borchert told the crowd that working to bring ethnic, gender, and skill diversity to open source projects isn't just the right thing to do because of moral grounds, it's the right thing to do to make projects more successful.
Me, I beg to differ. Pretty sure success has to do with the diversity of thought/ideas rather than genetic diversity.

Not everything is satire.
Especially in the "Age of Trump".

Awe, now you ruined it. I was about to mod it up as an extremely well done bit of trolling.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Mr. Buzzard, I still think it was a very well done and thought out bit of trolling.
I had to read it twice after it flew past the first time. This is worthy of something -more than the 1 score it has as of this writing!
