Don't worry: it's still months away, so I'd say we can set these deadlines for the announcements: - call for initiatives (b-day parties, etc) to be sent ~1 month before the anniversary (so, 16/07/2013) - bday press release to be sent August 16th and to be frozen ~4 days before it. > > > As you can see on the wiki page, for now the main ideas are: > > > > 1. have simultaneous birthday parties all around the world (we'll > > probably need to coordinate with DebConf Team as the "main" Debian > > birthday party will be held in Le Camp during DebConf13) > > > > Maybe we can adapt the thank-you [1] platform in order to incorporate > party locations around the globe?
