Debian's DebConf22 Kicks Off In Kosovo

[Anux]

Debian is playing politics again. I wonder how did the process of choosing the place to host look like.

The conference is always in another place all over the world, nothing special there. But politics will be the main thing there probably.

"best approaches for attracting new users" lets put some bets in what the solution will be there:

It's comical you imagine anyone in the leadership of the Democratic party even knows what Debian is.

Nobody's forcing you to live in fear of a woke planet.
