JANUARY 16, 2008

January 16, 2008 I’ve had a few interesting things happen lately which is making me wonder about what’s happening with open source, and the perceptions of open source in the nonprofit sector.

We decided to become a nonprofit in early 2008 and formed the Diabetes Hands Foundation in April 2008.
