Scalar Joins the Open-Source Pledge
Sep 1st, 2024
When we met Chad Whitacre at the Open-Source Summit in Seattle earlier this year, we instantly bonded over all things open-source! He also told me the very early stages of the Open-Source Pledge that Sentry was starting and I couldn't have been more excited about joining it.
