Oh, I'm sorry. This might explain the enumeration problem.

2000: July 5.-9. Bordeaux, France
2001: July 2.-5. Bordeaux, France
2002: July 5.-7. Toronto, Canada
DebConf3 - 2003: July 18.-20. Oslo, Norway
DebConf4 - 2004: May 26.-June 2. Porto Alegre, Brazil
DebConf5 - 2005: July 10.-17. Helsinki, Finland

We need to be precise in the text : we are talking about the annual
conference and not about the debconf series.
Why debconf started counting with the second conference ? Is this
because the first one is not referenced on the debian web site ?
