With over 300 registered participants from around 40 countries, this was the largest DebConf to date. The conference broke other records as well. The number of sponsors and the value of their commitment far exceeded that of previous Debian conferences. This year, more than 20 sponsors provided DebConf with a total budget of around 125,000 euros. This generosity made it possible to, among other things, provide housing and food for almost 200 participants. The conference was an organizational challenge that required a large team of organizers and volunteers, working around the clock to coordinate the routines of the event. Debian Project Leader Branden Robinson was impressed with the performance: "The diligence and professionalism of our conference organizers continues to impress. DebConf occupies an increasingly important role for us, and if the attendees are the lifeblood of its success, then the organizers are its heart, getting everyone where they need to be." The conference featured talks, workshops, demonstrations, coding marathons and round table discussions on various aspects of the Debian Project. Highlights included a presentation about the large-scale deployment of 80,000 Debian workstations in Extramadura, Spain, along with several talks about popular Debian derivatives such as SkoleLinux and Ubuntu. The presentations were captured by the DebConf5 Video Team are available online at http://dc5video.debian.net/ DebConf5 was organized in collaboration with one of Finland's leading Free Software think tanks, Linux-Aktivaattori, the Helsinki University of Technology, and with financial support from HP, Intel, Nokia, Linux Magazine, IBM, SLX-Debian-Labs, NetApp, Movial, Linspire, Hostway, Linspire, VA Linux Systems Japan, O'Reilly, Progeny, Xandros, Damicon, Univention, Linux Information Systems AG, COSS, Ubuntu, MySQL, credativ, Ropecon, Helsinki Institute of Physics and CSC.
