   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:   
    - the FTPMaster team for their reliable work,   
    - the Release team for coordinating the whole release process,   
    - the Installer team for enabling Debian on diverse hardware,   
    - the Images team for creating the bootable images,   
    - the Press team for shouting the news to the world,   
    - the many developers fixing RC bugs during the release process,   
    - the developers who created documentation for the release process,   
    - and the countless translators enabling Debian to be used by   
      people all over the globe.   
   And, of course, to everyone I may have missed in this list who did   
   important work to make Trixie the great release it is.   
       
   A particular thank-you also goes to Ansgar for addressing issues with   
   the code-signing service and unblocking work on upcoming Linux DSAs.   
       
   Let’s celebrate today — and then enjoy the freedom to upload to unstable   
   again, aiming for an even greater Forky release.   
       
   Yours,   
      Andreas.
