In 2014, when Sierra Leone was hit by the Ebola outbreak, three local software developers kept the country's infrastructure working by rewriting it to #FLOSS. They saved hundreds of thousands lives when companies like Google and IBM backed off, calling the project too risky.

And their own recollection of the events with some technical descriptions:

I got tired of being asxed the question, so I've finally done it:
I've created a merge request of my Tango Arrow brush into mainstream #GIMP.

It's a brush. In the shape of an arrow. It will solve literally 65% of all GIMP questions I get.

I doubt GIMP commits are merged based on popular vote, but if you agree that this is a sorely needed addition, go give this merge request a boost.
