The Debian Project invites all interested persons to attend these events,
ask questions, take a look at Debian 6.0 "Squeeze", exchange
GPG fingerprints to boost the web of trust, and get to know the members
and the community behind the Debian Project.
About Debian
------------
The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly free
community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of the
largest and most influential open source projects. Over three thousand
volunteers from all over the world work together to create and maintain
Debian software. Translated into 70 languages, and supporting a huge
range of computer types, Debian calls itself the "universal operating
system".
