A commit to the Linux kernel from a four-year-old girl

A month ago, a five-year-old boy successfully passed the exam and received a Microsoft Certified Professional certificate, becoming the youngest Microsoft certified professional on the planet.

Now the Linux community has a decent answer: this is four-year-old Maisa Roponen (Maisa Roponen), who sent a patch to make changes to the Linux kernel . So among the developers of the kernel appeared very young children.

True, the commit is not so serious. Maissa offers only correct the documentation for the virtual file system /proc .

“This letter [last s] looks sad, because everyone else has [=] things from the bottom, but she doesn’t,” wrote Maissa on the mailing list for kernel developers. The sent patch “corrects the tragedy, so that all the letters will be happy again,” Tero Roponen added his commentary in the letter.



By the way, the site The Linux Homefront Project is now voting for the title of "man of the year" in the Linux community . The phenomenal Maissa Roponen still takes second place in it, with a slight lag behind Lennart Pottering, the author of systemd. But the girl is ahead of Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman and other harsh men.
