About me
Chad Whitacre got his start in Open Source in 2001. He participated in the Python web development boom of the 2000s that gave rise to Django and Flask. Along the way, he experienced first-hand the tension between volunteer Open Source work and paid closed source work, so he spent the 2010s on a crowdfunding startup, Gittip. Now his role is Head of Open Source at Sentry, an application monitoring company with deep roots in the community and a firm commitment to Open Source sustainability.
