August 16, 1993, Ian Murdock's announcement that started it all (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHistory?action=AttachFile&do=view⌖=Debian-announcement-1993.txt#CA-c114de97e513912ade3e21cedd1d833957c8edf6_13). January 1994, Ian releases the Debian Manifesto (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/manifesto). April 1, 1994, Ian was struggling to keep up with it all and needed a break (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1994/msg00005.html). March 1996, Ian steps down as Debian Project Leader (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1996/msg00003.html). Leaving Bruce Perens to take up the job. The FSF pulls sponsorship (https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.misc/c/A30TG4KRx4Y/m/WKi_Yx0iuTAJ) but later the FSF "resumed cordial relations" (https://www.debian.org/intro/cooperation). June 17, 1996, Debian 1.1 is released (https://web.archive.org/web/19970616164301/http://www.debian.org/1.1/release.html) with the first ever codename based on Toy Story characters. It was named Buzz (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuzz), after Buzz Lightyear. A list of all the Debian releases (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/releases.en.html). February 1, 1997, A board of directors had been elected (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00000.html) for Software in the Public Interest. February 20, 1997, Debian shows its intent to ratify a constitution (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00005.html). July 1, 1997, Debian is really launched into space (https://www.debian.org/News/1997/19970626a) this time to monitor plant growth in microgravity, sending video and other data (https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2186) back home. December 2, 1998, Debian ratifies a Constitution (https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.1.0). At the beginning of 1999, Wichert Akkerman was elected Debian Project Leader and started with giving Debian a permanent identity. Logo on debian.org as of April 14, 1997 (https://web.archive.org/web/19970414140629im_/http://www.debian.org/Pics/debian.jpg) January 24, 1999, the logo license for Captain Blue-Eye, expired again (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/1999/4/mail#mail2). February 4, 1999, a Logo contest announcement (https://www.debian.org/News/1999/19990204)! May 3, 1999, the submissions were in. (https://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0004) Captain Blue-Eye was thought to be too Linux-specific (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/1999/14/mail#mail1). June 8, 1999, The iconic swirl that we see today won the vote (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00005.html). July 6, 1999, dpkg version 2, which was hinted (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1999/05/msg01405.html) at by Ben Collins back in May, is now officially a thing and the specifications are out there boasting a more modular design (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00012.html). Debian weathered the Y2k storm with no major problems (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2000/1/). In October 2001, LAN Comp Systems begin mastering Debian 3.0 on DVD (https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/25/2250255/debian-on-dvd) ahead of the official release. Debian 3.0 was delayed because of broken boot floppies (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2001/04/msg00004.html). 2002, the first net installation images were available (https://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/). 2007, through a disagreement with Mozilla on backporting security fixes, would be replaced (https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox#Iceweasel) by the free-software version, Iceweasel. 2013, the trailing 0 on the major release is dropped (https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg01020.html). Minor releases will continue adding the point, as in .1, .2, etc. Also in 2013, multi-arch support (https://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110726b) is added. 2020, Jonathan Carter (https://jonathancarter.org/) was elected Debian Project Leader and has been reaffirmed three more times, and is currently serving as Leader.

Will's recent clean-slate PC build and newfound abundance of extremely fast storage got us thinking about all things storage. So this week we had a top-to-bottom chat about our current storage strategies, including the ways we are and aren't still using local drives, our fondness for portable apps, how many cloud storage services is too many, the promise of something like rclone to manage all of your offsite storage, dumping long-term data into S3 Glacier, and more.

Here's Will's recent PC build with Gordon and Adam from PC World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIJBxR_BkRI

How we nearly crashed our Matrix server; what we did wrong and how we're fixing it. Plus an update on elementary OS, GNOME's next chapter, and we kick off the NixOS Challenge. NixOS Challenge Goals: Study the Nix Expression Language (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Expression_Language) Setup at least one Nix/NixOS system (https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/). Install htop (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/system/htop/default.nix). Join the Nix Nerds Matrix channel (https://linuxunplugged.com/matrixinfo). Post a screenshot in the NixOS Challenge GitHub (https://github.com/JupiterBroadcasting/nixos-challenge/). Complete all the above before the end of April. Special Guest: Danielle Foré.
