I read a lot on the history of technology, mostly aerospace. And these books are filled with all these incredible stories about the people.

My generation is already forming those stories. We've already built those relationships. And the things we're doing are absolutely amazing.

Don't be so shortsighted as to not see that these people now are the ones whose stories will be told 20, 30 years on, if only they make it.

Help them make it and be part of that story. The Stallmans of the world have already written theirs and your event won't be even a footnote.
