Hi All,

We're putting together content in order to update GNOME's birthday website
<http://happybirthdaygnome.org/> 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 <https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/bday_website_content>. 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
