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,,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,,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,,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,,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,,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,,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,,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,,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,,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

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going on?

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was trying to do reproducible builds.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if everyone here's aware of\Nreproducible builds and what this is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trying to do, and the importance of it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you get a source package
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you produce a binary from that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there hasn't traditionally been a way of\Nknowing that what you've produced here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comes from this source package and it\Nhasn't been tampered with.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is incredibly important for the trust\Nthat people have in Debian
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how we produce things
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we're able to say "Look, this thing\Nhere has definitely come from here,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,look we've rebuilt it again, you can check\Nfor yourself, it comes from here.",
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then people can trust Debian as this\Nplatform for where we run everyone's

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got my first job because I was involved\Nwith free software.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then got my next job because I was a\NDebian developer and could put together
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Linux systems easily, and knew how to\Nmunge these various crazy different

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then my current job I got because\Nessentially I was involved in doing

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I say to people when they ask

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,worked with for many many years and I\Ncertainly wouldn't have moved to my

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the day we're still here, we're still\Nthe Debian project.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And sort of like that it's something we\Nlove to be associated with
