[sudo-discuss] Fwd: FW: Ada Allies

[Ronald Cotoni]

Thanks for that link, that clears a bit up.  It took a while for all that
dust to clear and honestly, I stopped getting in the middle of the drama
and focused on improving myself and my friends behaviors (telling them that
they shouldn't say things).

I think more people should go to this event.  I do appreciate what the ada
initiative does and we can all help them succeed.
