Nothing to do with age really. More to do with exposure and enthusiasm.<span class=""><br>

Not really. There would be many on PLUG list who virtually educated their<br>
employers about FOSS.<span class=""><br>

Again nothing to do with age.<br>
<br>
FOSS is not that new. Several of 40+ (that includes the most celebrated<br>
OSS developer in the world, no points for guessing) and even 60+ (<br>
considering the big R's age now, guess the big R of open source if you<br>
don't know) and several lesser mortals who were early adopters on whose<br>
effort we stand wherever we do today.<br>
