Distribution quotes of the week

IMHO [pure blends are] one way to advertise Debian. I would go that far that Debian can grow dendritic into different fields and spreads over different fields into the masses (and thus is "the last final step for total world domination" - to quote Enrico). We could even declare Debian as an application store for applications in the fields covered by Blends.

To be frank, I don't relish reporting this at all. The Beefy Miracle movement, if I may call it that, had a lot of momentum behind it — something that's a good boost for any FOSS project. Verne may be a more "respectable" codename (after Jules Verne) but did it have its own Fedora Respin? I don't think so. A full fledged campaign and Facebook page? t-shirts? Nope.
