  • At Debconf 3 in Oslo in 2003, there a presentation given about "ftp-masters" by Mike Beattie and Anthony Towns which perpetuated the image of Debian as a Boys' club. A description of the talk is given here by Anthony Towns, one of the presenters: "It was on the dak suite; which is a bunch of scripts used to manage the ftp site, that happen to be named after models and actresses and suchlike. We covered a number of the scripts in detail, and as a joke, included pictures of the girls the rest were named after. That portion of the talk just ended up as a soft-core slideshow though, and, to my mind, didn't come off as particularly funny or enlightening at all. Mike presented that section of the talk, so I wouldn't presume to justify the presentation or apologise for it on his behalf." Amaya went looking for the slides in 2006, found them, but they've been 404'd again now. The slides can still be found in the Internet archive
