Debian turns 32!

[NewsBot]

A new Debian blog post/announcement has been posted!

On August 16, 1993, Ian Murdock announced the Debian Project to the world. Three decades (and a bit) later, Debian is still going strong, built by a worldwide community of developers, contributors, and users who believe in a free, universal operating system.

Over the years, Debian has powered servers, desktops, tiny embedded devices, and huge supercomputers. We have gathered at DebConfs, squashed countless bugs, shared late-night hacking sessions, and helped keep millions of systems secure.

Debian Day is a great excuse to get together, whether it is a local meetup, an online event, a bug squashing party, a team sprint or just coffee with fellow Debianites. Check out the Debian Day wiki to see if there is a celebration near you or to add your own.

Here is to 32 years of collaboration, code, and community, and to all the amazing people who make Debian what it is.

Happy Debian Day!
