87: Open Sourcing Mental Illness

The PHP Roundtable

Please consider supporting OSMI and its mission to help those facing mental illness in the tech community. Donate to Open Sourcing Mental Illness

OSMI began in 2013, with Ed Finkler speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open-source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and thus OSMI was born. OSMI board members and volunteers bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue by organizing efforts to change the experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders.
