Mary Gardiner has posted amemorial to Telsa Gwynne. "Telsa was also a critical inspirationto me as an activist: in the early 2000s (and still) it was hugelycontroversial to either believe that open source communities could stillwork if they were more civil (the entire LinuxChix project was partly anexperiment with that), and even more so to insist that they shouldbe. Telsa is the earliest person I can think of who stood up in an opensource development community and asked it to change its norms in thedirection of civility." Telsa withdrew from our community someyears ago, but she will be much missed just the same.
