Not because it’s March. Because it’s the right thing to do.

At OpenProject, supporting women in tech and open source is not something we switch on once a year. It’s part of how we try to work every day: with flexible work, shared responsibility for care work, psychological safety, and space for diverse voices to be heard.

To the women on our team and in our community: thank you for shaping OpenProject. Your work makes us better. 💜
