Let's welcome the new release of Debian 8.0 "jessie"! Whether you're new to Debian or not, join us for: 1) cake, 2) learn about the "Big 8 in 8" and 3) a journey from a metapackage to a cloud-powered repository. If you're new to Debian, using Debian and interested in packaging or using other APT-based distributions and interested in what the cloud can do for you, this session (and cake) is for you.
