Hi, During one of DebConf14 evenings, I raised the idea of creating a 'Debian Quiz', inspired from the famous TCP/IP Drinking Game that used to be maintained by Valerie Aurora [1,2]. [1] http://valerieaurora.org/tcpip.html [2] http://sock-raw.org/netsec/tcpipdrink.html We quickly found 23 questions: Q: Give two names of girls that were originally part of the Debian Archive Kit (dak), that are still actively used today. Q: Cite 5 different valid values for a package's urgency field. Are all of them different? Q: What are most Debian project machines named after? Q: What does the B in projectb stand for? Q: Name three locations where Debian machines are hosted. Q: What happened to Debian 1.0? Q: Name the first Debian release. Q: what are Debian releases named after? Why? Q: Swirl on chin. Does it ring a bell? Q: One Debian release was frozen for more than a year. Which one? Q: Order correctly hamm, bo, potato, slink Q: Order correctly lenny, woody, etch, sarge Q: what was the first release with an "and-a-half" release? Q: name the kernel version for sarge, etch, lenny, squeeze, wheezy. bonus for etch-n-half! Q: What was Dunc Tank about? Who was the DPL at the time? Who were the release managers during Dunc Tank? Q: Which one was the Dunc Tank release? Q: Where were the first two DebConf held? Q: Describe the Debian restricted use logo. Q: What does piuparts stand for? Q: What is the codename for experimental? Q: Which DebConfs were held in a Nordic country? Q: What is the official card game at DebConf? Q: When was the Debian Maintainers status created? However, I lack the time to turn this into something better, so I'm looking for adopters. I've pushed the current state (with answers!) to collab-maint: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/debian-quiz.git/ It would be great if a team could magically form to maintain it as a Debian package. I'm Ccing people who already expressed interest in helping with this, but feel free to just join the fun! Lucas
