Danielle ForéI started elementary (the open source project) as a high school student. When we were building the first versions of our desktop environment, one of our core developers was in high school and his parents accompanied him to the Ubuntu Developer Summit. How many things we have today wouldn’t exist if young people weren’t allowed to participate? The cost of not creating spaces that we can safely share with young people is too high
Tyrell Gen-8 Pleasurebot@danirabbit “I stared a company that created an operating system while still in high school” may be one of the coolest and simultaneously hottest things I’ve ever read. You’re like Kim Possible.
@FinalGirl haha okay to be fair we bootstrapped for several years. I didn’t get to work on it full time until I was like 25
@danirabbit you did that in high school. I was playing DnD and drinking enough to destroy my liver.
