Hi Greg, Adding my voice to Titus's and Tracy's and others', I'm forever grateful. What you have done with Software Carpentry has been game-changing for my career, my life, and my vision.
Monday I'll be giving a small workshop with PyLadies MTL at Shopify Montreal, so I'll have yet another reason, a topical reason, for plugging the Carpentries! I happen to be going through a rough time at this moment, seeing horrible things at my workplace (along the lines of racism and sexism, in complete denial or unawareness)... :( :( :( What's keeping me afloat is my connection with the Carpentries, a virtual place where I feel home, as Tracy puts it so well.
