Each year on August the 16th, we celebrate the Debian Project Anniversary.

Several communities around the world join us in celebrating "Debian Day" with local events, parties, or gatherings.

So, how about celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the Debian Project in 2025 in your city? As the 16th of August falls on a Saturday this year, we believe it is great timing to gather people around your event.

We invite you and your local community to organize a Debian Day by hosting an event with talks, workshops, a bug squashing party, or OpenPGP keysigning gathering, etc.

You could also hold a meeting with others in the Debian community in a smaller social setting like a bar/pizzeria/cafeteria/restaurant to celebrate. In other words, any type of celebrating is valid!

Remember to add your city to the Debian Day wiki page

There is a list of Debian Local Groups around the world. If your city is listed, talk to them to organize DebianDay together.

To inspire you and your local community, see some photos from 2023 and 2024

Let's use hashtags #DebianDay #DebianDay2025 on social media.
