Debianfest is in Argentina this year … 🍿
Slackware was doing this before you were born.
Slackware didn’t yet exist when I learnt to edit batch scripts to get my DOS games to run.
And it didn’t have anyone compiling the entire alienbob repo until recently.
How do you imagine Debian maintains that huge repository? Corporate office workers with nicely trimmed beards and expensive suits sitting in air conditioned Debian HQ?
Debian currently has some drama in their ftpmasters team, they argue with the debian project leader, then their team was disbanded in favor of two new teams, then some quit, etc. Seems like the usual open source way of doing things. Hopefully it won’t affect the releases.
This is the absolute great thing about debian. The transparency. There is drama everywhere, but with debian it is all out in the open. Not something you have the read between the lines from a pr story.
Debian is fucking great!
