During the Debian Birthday, the Debian conference will open its doors to
anyone interested in finding out more about Debian and Free Software,
inviting enthusiasts, users, and developers to a half day of talks
relating to Free Software, the Debian Project, and the Debian operating
system.

Attending the Debian Birthday is free of charge and is open to everybody
interested in Free Software. More information about it, and a complete
schedule, can be found on the DebConf13 website [3].

About Debian
=2D-----------

The Debian Project [4] was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly
free community project aiming to build a free operating system. Since
then the project has grown to be one of the largest and most influential
open source projects. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a huge
range of computer types, Debian calls itself the universal operating
system; the current release includes over 20,000 software packages for
more than ten computer architectures, ranging from the common desktops
and laptops to mobile phones and tablets up to big computing mainframes.
Debian is the basis for several other Linux distributions, including
Knoppix and Ubuntu. Thousands of volunteers from all over the world work
together to create and maintain the Debian system, many of them in their
spare time.

The Debian Project=E2=80=99s key strengths are its volunteer base and commi=
tment
to providing the best operating system possible. Apart from DebConf most
communication takes place on the Internet in mailing-lists and chat-
rooms. Unlike all other Linux distributions of similar size Debian is an
independent non-profit organization not backed by a commercial company.
Debian=E2=80=99s dedication to Free Software, its non-profit nature, and its
open development model make it unique among Free Software distributions.
