Debian has had several leaders since its beginnings in 1993.
Ian Murdock founded Debian in August 1993 and led it until March 1996.
Bruce Perens led Debian from April 1996 until December 1997.
Ian Jackson led Debian from January 1998 until December 1998.
Wichert Akkerman led Debian from January 1999 until March 2001.
Ben Collins led Debian from April 2001 until April 2002.
Bdale Garbee was elected in April 2002 and is our current leader.

Ian Jackson is from UK. Aha :) Another thing I learned today.
But still intrigued why these release codenames are lowercase.
BTW, Joey, I realize you have 2 names or 2 different person.
