The Debian Project was officially founded by Ian Murdock on 1993-08-16. The Debian Community celebrates its birthday, Debian Day, on this day each year. (It has also been called Debian Appreciation Day.)

There is also a day of activities called a Debian Day (DebianDayDebConf) shortly before or after the yearly Debian Conference, DebConf.
