You would be surprised at the number of folks who've made great 
enhancements, or contributions, to various open source projects 
over the decades that are not even 18.

The beauty of open-source is that talent is no longer defined by 
your age, gender, or location, and is defined entirely by 
ability, and sometimes, the ability to conform to that 
open-sources' project standards / expectations.

Age need no part in the equation ;)
