A year ago, Cucumber returned to community ownership. I'd like to take a moment to reflect on what we have been up to.

Today is a big day for Cucumber.

6099 days since the project was first started, 4158 days since we formed Cucumber Ltd, and 2004 days since SmartBear acquired Cucumber Ltd we have entered a new and exciting phase: Cucumber is back in community ownership.

One of the goals the Cucumber team have set ourselves this year is to increase the number of recent, regular contributors who are non-white or non-male from 0 to 2. This post describes why we want to do this, what we’ve learned so far about the systemic barriers that keep the community of people who contribute to open source so utterly imbalanced, and outlines how we’ve started tackling the problem in our own project.
