If anyone else wants to follow the status of the macro issue, it is here
<https://github.com/roice3/MagicTile/issues/13>. You can watch that issue
for notifications, and I’ll update it when fixed.

I think we had a few more females than what Ed listed, but it is definitely
way too lopsided. I also wish it was more gender balanced.

Best,
Roice
