Making space for a collaborative & diverse OSS environment starts by not pandering to difficult people who made an important contribution a zillion years ago or hoard knowledge, to the detriment of others around them.

Yesterday I recorded an episode of the podcast with Deana Solis. We met after I accepted a LinkedIn connection request from her. She always writes such thoughtful comments on my posts, and when I was thinking of what awesome ladies in tech I could invite for the podcast, I OF COURSE thought of her!

Split-screen video call between Adriana Villela and Deana Solis titled “Geeking Out – Deana Solis,” recorded on July 10, 2025. Adriana’s background includes a basketball hoop, artwork, and signage; Deana’s side features a bright room with large windows, a fireplace, and flowers.
