 | | The Debian press conference to announce the release of Debian 2.2 was held in a large meeting room, with attendance available to evertyone, not just members of the press. |
 | | A stage in the front of the room demonstrated a historical perspective on Debian leadership, including Ian Murdoch (the Ian in Debian), the original founder of Debian, Bruce Perens, also a former Debian project manager, a Wichert Akkerman, the current Debian project manager. |
 | | They were flanked by two large screens, the left displaying multiple IRC chat sessions that were allowing Debian developers all over the world to participate in the announcement, and the right displaying a map of the globe with markers for the locations of the 500+ Debian developers. |
