So we need a speciall call for celebration 😄

I agree, last year I was swamped around Debian's birthday nearly even
missed it altogether. I was thinking then that it would be a lost
opportunity to not do something bigger for the 30th.

How enthusiastic are you about this? Would you be willing to put
together a team who could help manage a 30th birthday? This could be
great for local teams, especially if we could try something like 30
birthday parties in 30 cities across the world, and perhaps 30
talks/events that could be broadcasted during the event.

Might be nice to set it up DebConf-style, complete with a wafer site and
have the video infra up for it, but I'm just spitballing here. Either
way, I'm very happy to support a team who work on 30th birthday
celebrations, and the budget for it won't be a problem. If some people
from local teams could get together to brainstorm and plan it, I'm sure
it could be something very memorable.

Johathan: Thanks for allocating budget!

That would be thursday august 16, 2023. Seems our friends in La Paz, Bolivia are already planning: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay/2023 .

Yes, I'm interested in helping out in .nl.

Bye,

Joost
