Bits from Debian: DebianDay Celebrations and comments
Debian Celebrates 30 years!
We celebrated our birthday this year and
we had a great time with new friends, new members welcomed to the community,
and the world.
We have collected a few comments, videos, and discussions from
around the Internet, and some images from some of the
DebianDay2023 events. We hope that
you enjoyed the day(s) as much as we did!

Em 2023 o tradicional 
A huge number of people visited the booth, and the beginners (mainly students)
who didn't know Debian, asked what our group was about and we explained various
concepts such as what Free Software is, GNU/Linux distribution and Debian
itself. We also received people from the Brazilian Free Software community and
from other Latin American countries who were already using a GNU/Linux
distribution and, of course, many people who were already using Debian. We had
some special visitors as Jon maddog Hall, Debian Developer Emeritus Ot vio
Salvador, Debian Developer Eriberto Mota, and Debian Maintainers Guilherme de
Paula Segundo and Paulo Kretcheu.

We also had 3 talks included in Latinoware official schedule.

Many thanks to Latinoware organization for once again welcoming the Debian
