The quarter century anniversary! Good ideas. I think a stand alone DPN would be ideal if we could find content for it such as interviews with long standing and still current enterprises or LUGs or companies that have been using Debian for a long time. We could add bits from the timeline as well. I wonder if we would have enough time for a 25th anniversary art contest for the banner/logo?
