Speaker - Rowan Wolf
Biography
Rowan is 8 years old (as of this time at FOSSY 2024) and is an advocate for software-freedom. He is author of Cowmath (https://codeberg.org/RDW/cowmath). Along with his dad, he has presented at multiple conferences on the topic of software-freedom-for-kids. Although he likes programming and learning about politics and ethics, he actually prefers to play Minetest, SuperTuxKart, and other FLO (free/libre/open) video games — though he does *really* care about avoiding proprietary software.
Otherwise, Rowan attends the bilingual Spanish-English program at Candy Lane elementary school in Oregon City (well, in the school district but actually on the other side of the neighboring city of Gladstone, and he bikes 5 miles each way to school and also has strong opinions about biking and transportation).
