Dear Debian community,
=20
Today we celebrate Debian=E2=80=99s 100000th birthday!
=20
Before you start wondering about that age =E2=80=94 yes, that=E2=80=99s 100=
000 in
binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal. And as we all know, round numbers
simply look cooler. ;-)  Debian was founded on 1993-08-16, which
makes today our 0x20 anniversary.
=20
Over those 0x20 years, many of you have contributed =E2=80=94 some for a sh=
ort
time, others for much longer =E2=80=94 helping Debian grow from a small pro=
ject
into a global effort producing one of the largest and most widely used
Free Software distributions in the world. We=E2=80=99ve packaged software f=
or
everything from tiny embedded devices to massive clusters, while staying
true to our Social Contract and the principles of Free Software.
=20
This wouldn=E2=80=99t have been possible without the dedication and
collaboration of our contributors and users worldwide. Thank you all for
making Debian what it is today.
=20
Just last week we saw the latest result of our collective work =E2=80=94 the
Trixie release. My warm thanks go out to all involved teams:
 - the FTPMaster team for their reliable work,
 - the Release team for coordinating the whole release process,
 - the Installer team for enabling Debian on diverse hardware,
 - the Images team for creating the bootable images,
 - the Press team for shouting the news to the world,
 - the many developers fixing RC bugs during the release process,
 - the developers who created documentation for the release process,
 - and the countless translators enabling Debian to be used by
   people all over the globe.
And, of course, to everyone I may have missed in this list who did
important work to make Trixie the great release it is.
=20
A particular thank-you also goes to Ansgar for addressing issues with
the code-signing service and unblocking work on upcoming Linux DSAs.
=20
Let=E2=80=99s celebrate today =E2=80=94 and then enjoy the freedom to uploa=
d to unstable
again, aiming for an even greater Forky release.
=20
Yours,
   Andreas.
