Sage Sharp (born as Sarah Sharp) is a software engineer who has worked on the Linux kernel, including serving on the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board for two years.[2]

Sharp began working on the kernel in 2006 as an undergraduate at Portland State University, and later through an Intel undergraduate research grant.[3] Sharp's contributions to the kernel include writing and acting as a maintainer for its USB 3.0 driver.[4][5] In 2015, Sharp recommended that the Linux project adopt a code of conduct for Linux developers; Torvalds adopted a "code of conflict" instead.[6][7] Sharp stepped down from direct work on the kernel on 5 October 2015, citing the abrasive communication style and "abusive commentary [on submitted patches]" of the maintainer community.[4][8][9][10]

Sharp is also a volunteer co-coordinator of the Outreachy project,[11] and led a team contributing to the Linux kernel for the project's June 2013 internships.[12]

Sharp won the first annual Red Hat Women in Open Source Community Award in 2015 for "efforts in improving communications and inviting women into open source communities"[13] and the 2016 O'Reilly Open Source Award for accomplishments in the open source community.[11]

In 2017, Sharp began using the pronouns "they" and "them", and the first name Sage.[14]

Early years

Sharp grew up in Rainier, Oregon,[15] and attended Portland State University as an undergraduate. While at Portland State University, Sharp worked on the Linux kernel for senior elective credits.[3]
