August 16, 1993, Ian Murdock's announcement that started it all (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHistory?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Debian-announcement-1993.txt#CA-c114de97e513912ade3e21cedd1d833957c8edf6_13). January 1994, Ian releases the Debian Manifesto (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/manifesto). April 1, 1994, Ian was struggling to keep up with it all and needed a break (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1994/msg00005.html). March 1996, Ian steps down as Debian Project Leader (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1996/msg00003.html). Leaving Bruce Perens to take up the job. The FSF pulls sponsorship (https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.misc/c/A30TG4KRx4Y/m/WKi_Yx0iuTAJ) but later the FSF "resumed cordial relations" (https://www.debian.org/intro/cooperation). June 17, 1996, Debian 1.1 is released (https://web.archive.org/web/19970616164301/http://www.debian.org/1.1/release.html) with the first ever codename based on Toy Story characters.

December 2, 1998, Debian ratifies a Constitution (https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.1.0). At the beginning of 1999, Wichert Akkerman was elected Debian Project Leader and started with giving Debian a permanent identity.

(https://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0004) Captain Blue-Eye was thought to be too Linux-specific (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/1999/14/mail#mail1). June 8, 1999, The iconic swirl that we see today won the vote (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00005.html). July 6, 1999, dpkg version 2, which was hinted (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1999/05/msg01405.html) at by Ben Collins back in May, is now officially a thing and the specifications are out there boasting a more modular design (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00012.html). Debian weathered the Y2k storm with no major problems (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2000/1/). In October 2001, LAN Comp Systems begin mastering Debian 3.0 on DVD (https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/25/2250255/debian-on-dvd) ahead of the official release. Debian 3.0 was delayed because of broken boot floppies (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2001/04/msg00004.html). 2002, the first net installation images were available (https://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/). 2007, through a disagreement with Mozilla on backporting security fixes, would be replaced (https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox#Iceweasel) by the free-software version, Iceweasel. 2013, the trailing 0 on the major release is dropped (https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg01020.html).
