Red Hat has long been a proponent of advancing opportunities for women in technology. Today, at Red Hat Summit, we stepped forward to announce our sponsorship of the Women in Open Source Award. This new award program is dedicated to recognizing women’s contributions to open source and inspiring future generations of women to get involved.
While there are a number of awards that recognize valued contributions to the open source community, the Women in Open Source Award – unveiled today during our Red Hat Women’s Leadership Community Luncheon – is unique. It was created to shine a spotlight specifically on women who are making important contributions to open source project(s) or the broader open source community.
Join Red Hat in honoring the women who are helping to move open source forward and help us inspire more women to join the community.
