Interview with Phil Shapiro, an outstanding LibreOffice advocate
Quoting: Interview with Phil Shapiro, an outstanding LibreOffice advocate - The Document Foundation Blog —
I became interested in open source because of my volunteer work as a digital inclusion activist. I’ve been taking donated computers to people’s homes for the past 30 years. I deliver Macs, Windows, and Linux computers. Linux computers are my favorite to deliver because Linux runs well on older hardware. Believe it or not, I got an earlier version of Linux Mint running nicely on a 2002 Dell laptop. People can view this laptop surfing the web in my YouTube video titled: My $20 eBay laptop.
A long time ago, between 1990 and 1994, I ran my own Apple II educational software company. At that time, I benefited a lot from studying the code of other programmers. I sold some of the software I developed to school around the nation. I also designed free educational games, which can now be played in the browser, via an Apple II emulator, on the Internet Archive web site.
