Birthday Website | Help with Fun Facts and Trivia

[Nuritzi Sanchez <nuritzis stanfordalumni org>]

Hi All, 

We're putting together content in order to update GNOME's birthday website for its 20th anniversary. There's a section where we want to include fun facts and trivia, but we need your help populating it. 

I've included what we have so far below, but please add your edits to the etherpad. Are there any other facts or trivia you'd like to add? Can you help us finish the ones we have so far? ;)

Thanks!!

Best, 

Nuritzi
