Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so people can get their food early.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably wouldn't expect quite so many\Npeople as we have here today.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's quite fantastic that there's just so\Nmany people involved, especially this year
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I last checked the stats I think we\Nhad 383 people who had so far checked in
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,slightly less than for DebConf 7, but I'm\Ncertain... [laughter]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm certain over the next few days that'll\Ngo up and definitely surpass us.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be going strong.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hopefully a DebConf in future will look\Na little bit like that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the orga team might be slightly\Nmore stressed if we end up with numbers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but what a fantastic thing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also over the last few years we've had 42\Nnew project members have joined us.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Especially one or two on there which I\Ndecided to get back into doing application
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,management, especially for our non-\Nuploading developers as well, which has
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,been a huge boost to really grow where\Nwe're going.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also welcome back. I've noticed a few\Npeople this year who I haven't seen in a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,few years, so stand up if you've been away\Nfor a few years and you're returning
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know there's certainly some people,\Nexcellent,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the Switzerland DebConf, there\Nmight have been something in the water,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's suddenly been a huge... it's\Nabsolutely fantastic to see not only
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our usual developers around, but their\Nfamilies as well, and new people being
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,introduced to Debian and to technology.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The TecKids workshops I think are\Nabsolutely fantastic initiative I think
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that really helps broaden Debian and what\Nwe do.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when I first became DPL, I always knew\NDebian was a big thing in free software,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the communities and things we do.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went along to my running club
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we went for a run,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,went to the pub afterwards as you do in\Nthe UK,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can't have sport without excessive\Nalcohol consumption afterwards so it seems
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and about 7 or 8 people all came up to me
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and said "Hey, congratulations on being\NDPL, I'm going to buy you a pint!", which
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[laughter]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is great
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if anyone wants to run for DPL you get\Nfree beer, this is a good thing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it did really impress on me that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Debian's a big deal, it's a really huge\Ndeal.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you have a look at some of the latest\Nserver stats for web servers,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Debian's number one.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's about 32% of Linux distributions, and\Nand if you combine Ubuntu as well, and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all our derivatives, we're about 62% of\Nall linux servers out there
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically Debian really does run the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not only that, but the amount of embedded\Ndevices that Debian's involved with
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from, as mentioned before, the HP talk,\Nrunning huge teleco systems
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to assistive devices. I know Andy's around\Nsomewhere.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That product is essentially being based on\NDebian and it's a speak and spell type
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's for people who can't talk.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have a little keyboard, you type in\Nwhat you want to say, it has predictive
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,technology in there, and then it gives\Npeople a voice.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Debian is literally being used to give\Npeople voices who can't speak.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the sort of impact that Debian\Nhave, and free software can have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A few things happened, certainly over the\Nlast year.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Apparently we released.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was only DPL for about a week, but I'm\Ngoing to take credit for this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like any good politician, anyway.\N[laughter]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've already had a stable release.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This has hugely welcomed.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if anyone followed the DevOps\NReactions tumblr page, but they were
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,following along and huge cheers from\Neveryone when Debian releases.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a big deal.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Strangely I also saw a press release that\Nthat said they're

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this press release was from Microsoft\N[laughter]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought it might be a spoof at first,\Nbut I diligently checked the certificates
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and domains and made sure it went back.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think people, certainly large\Norganisations are realising now that this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,open source, free software thing isn't\Ngoing away
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This isn't something that they can just\Nignore, or they can fight against.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Certainly for someone like Microsoft to\Nthrow away a load of cake and do a press
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,release because Debian's released is\Nsomething I never thought I'd see when I
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first joined the Debian Project.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We've had some new good things which have\Nstarted recently as well
