Founded in 2011, the Ada Initiative is a nonprofit feminist organization created to help improve open source culture and build a more inviting, productive, safe environment for women. In this interview with Opensource.com, the co-founders look back at the organization's successes, and the work that still needs to be done.

    Seems to me that some of these groups are the ones doing the harassment. Accusing men of this type of activity just because they're men is wrong.

    Wouldn't it be nice if we all just followed some common sense principles? I know, not going to happen, but still....

    How about: try to be nice and not to deliberately offend others. On the other hand, try to be reasonable and not be offended by every little thing, especially something not intended to offend.

    A little consideration, met with a little forgiveness and understanding, would go a long way.
