Big Open Source Sibling program is also about another community: organizers, mentors, mentees, interviewees, guest instructors stay connected and share; job and training opportunities; other people who can help when someone needs support; new friends and role models :) #GNOMEChallenge

For our second mentoring round, we wanted to broaden our scope. One step was changing our name from BigOpenSourceSister to BigOpenSourceSibling, to welcome more than women (especially, trans men and non-binary folks). Word choices matter! #GNOMEChallenge

In our first round, our focus was on women who wanted to contribute to FOSS but didn’t feel confident or comfortable to do so. Given the pandemics, all our activities were remote, which opened the chance to also include people geographically less privileged. #GNOMEChallenge
