Thanks to everyone who forwarded a copy of the article to me. I just sent the following to their 'letters' address (since 'editorial' and 'errata' and 'corrections' all bounce):

Thank you for mentioning Software Carpentry in your March 26 article "Professors' unprofessional programs have created a new profession". I'm grateful for the publicity, but would be equally grateful if you could make the following corrections:

- Software Carpentry was co-founded by myself and Brent Gorda (who is now with Intel).

- It did not start at the University of Toronto (which you have incorrectly as "Toronto University" in your article), but at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

- I do not run the Software Carpentry Foundation - our Executive Director is Mr. Jonah Duckles.

If only the article was on GitHub, so that I could send a pull request... :-)

cheers,
Greg

It is a shame that they didn't mention Data Carpentry.
