“At 17, Elizabeth Garbee is quite a veteran of the
various Linux conferences, having spoken at the Australian
conference thrice, beginning in 2005 in Canberra.“She’s also been to Brazil and Japan, presenting papers with all
the seriousness of a much older person, yet bringing to bear the
perspective of a teenager.“Her talk at yesterday’s Libre Graphics miniconference, part of
the 11th Australian national Linux conference , was titled “How to
use FOSS tools to pay for college.” lizabeth Garbee“In the end, the title didn’t exactly match the content – but
that wasn’t the point of her talk. The whole focus was the fact
that the skills she has acquired by being part of the FOSS
community for a number of years will stand her in very good stead
at college”
