Re: Your biggest achievement during past DebConfs (aka new DebConf promoting campaign)
[Joey Hess] At DebConf3 in Oslo, I finally met the other Debian Installer developers gathered together in person, and after a week of challanging work, we achieved the first successful installation of Debian with it. Are you sure the first successful installation of Debian happened during DebConf3? I remember giving a talk about Skolelinux at that conference and how Skolelinux used d-i to automate the Debian installation. During the talk I ran the installation as a demonstration, and I suspect I would not have tried to do this if I had not done a d-i installation before DebConf3. But my memory is flaky, so I just wanted to ask if anyone remember when d-i actually was able to install Debian for the first time. This reinvigorated our team, leading to many new members, more rapid development, and many more developer gatherings. The resulting program has since been used to install Debian, and derivative distributions, on tens of millions of systems.

In dc11 I was setting up the external streaming server; and appart from that, it was the first debconf that holger was happy at the start of the conference because everything was in place for a day or two already. :) Enjoy, Rhonda -- Fühlst du dich mutlos, fass endlich Mut, los | Fühlst du dich hilflos, geh raus und hilf, los| Wir sind Helden Fühlst du dich machtlos, geh raus und mach, los | 23.55: Alles auf Anfang Fühlst du dich haltlos, such Halt und lass los| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Pretty sure because I was not attending DebConf4.
