feat: mentioning Christine Peterson #10

Closed CBID2 closed 1 year ago

Description of changes

This PR updates the history of open source by providing a more accurate account of its origins. It includes the contribution of Christine Peterson in coining the term "open source software" and clarifies the role of Eric S. Raymond, Bruce Perens, and other developers in creating The Open Source Initiative (OSI).

Issue that changes relate to

Benefits of changes

As mentioned in the statistic provided in the issue described above, open source is a male-dominated community. Clarifying that Christine Peterson originated the term would assure women and femme-identifying people that they have a place in open source.

Desired Metrics

If possible, I'd like to see how many viewers that this information brought to the course, especially those who identify as woman or non-binary a couple of weeks (or months) after it's released. I want to reference this contribution during in job interviews and it to my OpenSauced account.

Note to reviewers

I am open to suggestions on how to word this information effectively.
