Today a 14 year old wrote an email proudly explaining how they installed #postmarketOS on their Acer Chromebook, and asking if I could send some stickers to their postal address. I invited them to #FrOSCon (where they could get a lot of stickers!), since that&#39;s a family-friendly event, and otherwise said I would try. They replied very happy to get a reply from a pmOS maintainer, and &quot;see you in Sankt Augustin&quot;. I&#39;m just so happy I made the day of this kid :D

@pabloyoyoista Cool to see young people interested in postmarketOS! That is great. Btw, I was ≈ 14.7yr old when I did something pmos related in github. I mean probably there are more very young people in pmos community than thought. https://github.com/Soupborsh/lk2nd/commit/1111181f6315fe9840557772d615490738098c9a
