Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't say that to just every conference\NI care a lot about Debian

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I was at Debconf1
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just learned today that it was zero\Nbased so that it wasn't the first Debconf
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I should have known but didn't for\Nsome reason.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was at the 2nd Debconf by accident\Nsomewhat because I was going to Libre

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it was in New York City where I\Nwas living at the time
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and here I'm giving an invited speaker\Ntalk or a keynote or whatever else it is called here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That really means a lot to me.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm a fan of Debian, I'm a user of Debian.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't actually consider myself part of\Nthe Debian community
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because other than filing a few bugs\Nover the years
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I haven't contributed all that much to\NDebian but I've relied on it and used it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and been a fan of it for so long\Nthat I really love your project.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I am really honored to be invited to\Nspeak here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I really believe that Debian is a\Nvery special project for a lot of reasons.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First of all it has thrived for longer than almost any free software project in existence
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a lot of ways. There are top 10 lists of projects that Debian is certainly on as far as longevity goes, maybe the top 5
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's governance is one of the few
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,democratically elected and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,democratically controlled
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,governance processes in free software
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everyone is a fan of talking about this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'benevolent dictator' stuff
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I think is really horrible
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The fact that somebody would call
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,themselves a 'self appointed benevolent
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dictator for life' is really disturbing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You are democratic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You elect your leadership.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have referendums on major issues
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that everyone can vote on.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is amazingly rare, impressive
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and important for free software.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other thing that really impresses me,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in particular being somebody from the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,non-profit world,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that Debian has been staunchly
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,non-commercial for it's entire existence
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course I don't mean that Debian
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can't be used in commercial settings
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DFSG free means that things can be put
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into commercial products.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I mean is the project itself has
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,always been non-commercial,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meaning that the people that work on it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are volunteering, and even if their
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,employers are paying them to work on it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are part of a community
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and are not doing their work inside Debian
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as officially part of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some commercial activity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most free software projects these days
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are controlled by
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some commercial entity or another.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Debian is not.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was at Debconf1 which was really
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exciting for me.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was a young executive director of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Free Software.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I showed this picture to Karen Sandler who
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I work with and said how different I look.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She said I don't look different at all,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but, speaking as the person that looks
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at that face in the mirror every morning,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are a lot more lines on my face
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than there.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is a smooth looking baby face that I
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had 14 years ago that I don't have anymore
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was pretty casual back then.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not in short trousers any more.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's hard to see and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can see it in some of the other photos
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I was.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even in this heat I haven't worn short

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bdale, I was thinking about mentioning you

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me [laughter]. Bdale is the one adult
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the room that can dress like
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everyone else but I can't pull it off
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I respect Bdale that he can. \NThe tie-dye still works for him.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I stopped wearing t-shirts years ago
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and here I'm sweating in my long sleeves
