Happy 0x20th anniversary! A huge thank you to every   
   contributor—past and present—for making Debian the incredible project it   
   is today. 

From Ian   
   Murdock’s vision in 1993 to Trixieâ   
   €™s release, your dedication to free software and collaboration continues to   
   inspire.  

I not actively   
   contribute nowadays but I always proud with Debian. Again, thank you   
   everyone!

Dear Debian community,
   
   
   
   Today we celebrate Debian’s 100000th birthday!
   
   
   
   Before you start wondering about that age — yes, that’s 100000 in
   
   binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal. And as we all know, round numbers
   
   simply look cooler. ;-)  Debian was founded on 1993-08-16, which
   
   makes today our 0x20 anniversary.
   
   
   
   Over those 0x20 years, many of you have contributed — some for a short
   
   time, others for much longer — helping Debian grow from a small project
   
   into a global effort producing one of the largest and most widely used
   
   Free Software distributions in the world. We’ve packaged software for
   
   everything from tiny embedded devices to massive clusters, while staying
   
   true to our Social Contract and the principles of Free Software.
   
   
   
   This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and
   
   collaboration of our contributors and users worldwide. Thank you all for
   
   making Debian what it is today.
   
   
   
   Just last week we saw the latest result of our collective work — the
   
   Trixie release. My warm thanks go out to all involved teams:
   
   Â - the FTPMaster team for their reliable work,
