 Over those 0x20 years, many of you have contributed €€€ some for a short
 
 time, others for much longer €€€ helping Debian grow from a small 
 project
 
 into a global effort producing one of the largest and most widely used
 
 Free Software distributions in the world. We€€€ve packaged software for
 
 everything from tiny embedded devices to massive clusters, while staying
 
 true to our Social Contract and the principles of Free Software.
 
 
 
 This wouldn€€€t have been possible without the dedication and
 
 collaboration of our contributors and users worldwide. Thank you all for
 
 making Debian what it is today.
 
 
 
 Just last week we saw the latest result of our collective work €€€ the
 
 Trixie release. My warm thanks go out to all involved teams:
