I would like to thank all the people involved in the Debian booth at
FOSDEM 2011: the number of people who stopped by was the highest I have
ever seen in the last four years, which testifies that after 18 years
someone still cares about Debian [1][2].

The concomitant release of squeeze was probably a key factor for so many
attentions, but nevertheless the fact that the last lenny T-Shirts ever
produced [3] went out of stock on Saturday (together with most of the
"Space Fun" squeeze model [4]) was already a sign of love (pun
intended). And the Debian tartan [5] (both "present" as kilts and ties)
still catches a lot of interests!

I would also like to particularly thank Paul Sladen (cc:ed) for his
constant presence at the booth, coupled with his debian/rules to fold a
T-Shirt :-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
