This month, you're invited to recognize the impact of Asian American and Pacific Islander technologists, founders, and speakers across open source. 🌺

Their expertise, innovation, and leadership continue to shape the tools and platforms you rely on every day.

Celebrating heritage also means spotlighting present-day excellence. Who will you invite to speak, mentor, or share their knowledge this month?

Representation on stage starts with intentional invitations.

What does a newsletter sponsor make possible? 🗞️

With Human Made's partnership, we're able to stay in touch with speakers by sharing guidance, event updates, and opportunities that help them take the next step.

It's more than a sponsorship. It's a steady connection point that keeps people informed and ready to participate in open source events. 🙌🌎

Big thanks to #YoastDiversityFund, @SupportInclusioninTech
Winstina Hughes), & @michellefrechette for sponsoring my travel. Even though I live in Canada, getting here is expensive. I'm grateful!

So happy to be back in my hometown Ottawa for my #keynote at #WordCampCanada (#WCEH #WCEH2025).

I got to see my mom last week for the first time in a long time, and next week I’m celebrating one of my milestone birthdays with my best friend in Montreal.

Making the most of this cross-country trip!

This Juneteenth weekend, we're reminded that freedom is a continuous journey toward equality.

Juneteenth is a pivotal moment marking the end of enslavement of Black Americans, so let's honor our progress and actively contribute to a more equitable future. 🌟
