    <description><![CDATA[Organize a web-based Debian Recognition/Appreciation Day every year. Doesn't have to be anything formal, but the Debian maintainers are a key factor to the huge success Ubuntu is experiencing these days and they deserve the props.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[All those developers ALREADY get recognition, since their programs aren't being rebranded. Debian devs and maintainers on the other hand do a lot of work behind the scene with their fellow Ubuntu maintainers to create that awesome distribution we love, but get no recognition for the success of Ubuntu itself.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I'm for this idea, as we get xorg, openoffice etc in the first place at the start of every development cycle by syncing with the debian repositories.<br /><br />I think it needs to be more than recognition, something more practical, like submitting (debian-relevant) patches that Ubuntu has already incorporated.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[well I don't think there's any point in comparing Debian's and Ubuntu's or Mozilla's merits or whoever has been producing high quality open source code. The fact that there is little love / competition between the communities is a problem that should not be there if people really made open source principles theirs.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[As a very happy Debian user I can fairly say I think Debian would just complain about this as well.  ;-)<br /><br />"Only 1 day?!  We built their OS!"<br /><br />Debian developers are... well developers.  Just shares patches as quickly and usefully as possible.  That will make them far happier than a silly "We remember you" day.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I think there should be a Debian recognition day.<br /><br />Why a Debian day and not a Firefox day? Well, Ubuntu took Debian and changed code, etc. Nothing was really visibly changed with the Ubuntu "version" of Firefox.]]></description>
