Hi, In short,
The First Debian Conference + debconf0 Bordeaux from the 5th to the 9th of July 2000 --> Missing in debian-history: Needs addition 2001 ... The work around Debian didn't stop the developers from organizing an annual meeting called DebConf. The first meeting was held from the 2nd to the 5th of July together with the Libre Software Meeting (LSM) at Bordeaux (France) gathered around forty Debian developers. --> This talks about debconf1 : second debconf --> Needs revise The second conference took place in Toronto (Canada) July 5th 2002 with over eighty participants. --> This talks about debconf2: third debconf --> need revise Google told me: https://debconf2.debconf.org/ https://debconf2.debconf.org/pages/www.debian.org/0705-debconf.html https://debconf2.debconf.org/pages/www.debian.org/0705-debconf-schedule.html So debconf2 exists! It is only missing link to https://debconf2.debconf.org/ in https://www.debconf.org/resources.shtml So this debian-history page needs update ordinal numbers i++ Long reply: On Thu, Apr 04, 2019 at 05:02:42PM +0000, Holger Levsen wrote: > On Fri, Apr 05, 2019 at 01:02:13AM +0900, Osamu Aoki wrote: > > * definitive reference information.

I also found a web page which seems to be most authentic source listing all debconf (REFERENCE/PROOF?): https://www.debconf.org/resources.shtml There exist good links to all previous ones.
