This is definitely the case. I started using Linux in 2000. I was 
single, a student, etc. Many of my friends and colleagues using Linux 
were the same. Now many years later I'm married with kids, less spare 
time to do stuff :) I'm still pretty passionate about Linux and open 
source (I work for Red Hat and I'm a Debian Maintainer), but the actual 
time I have for running installfests and going to meetups is 
significantly less.

By the way, hi, I'm kinda new here. I moved to Tucson from South Africa 
at the end of last year.
