I have begun to compile the history of the Debian Project and SPI in preperation for the Debian Birthday celebration and for the web site.
The first revision is available at http://master.debian.org/~lowe/debian-history.txt but is not complete. This is as much information as I have been able to collect thus far. Anyone who has relevant information, please send it to me :) ... I've bcc'd -devel, -www and a few individuals so that replies come back only to me. If you're not on the lists, you've received a copy of this, and you _don't_ want to help, please let me know and I'll stop sending stuff like this to you. I'm searching for the following things in particular: Early beginnings of the project, under Ian Murdock goals people involved & the work they did Major milestones Organization of the project (rumors of the Debian Board of Directors) (beginning of the election setup) SPI who started it & why? Other people to contact who might have information I'm looking for Thanks to those who've helped already.
