Microsoft, despite how you feel, has put its face forward and has been a sponsor for Debian Conferences and distribution. While you may not have been aware of that, now you are.
While risking to be banned, I want to repeat my question about MS sponsoring the DebConf, Mr
donald:
The registry of DebConf is available here:
https://www.debconf.org/
Each of the Debian Conferences in the list (2016..2021 - last 5 years) provides a list of sponsors,
and in any case the Microsoft is *NOT* is listed as a sponsor.
So it looks like You, as the "Debian Developer", don't know who is paying for Your beer.
If you follow your own links, like such:
https://www.debconf.org/ >>> scroll down to
https://debconf16.debconf.org/ >> you will land on Debconf16's official webpage >>> click on sponsors >> it still shows Microsoft at the silver level of sponsorship >>>:
https://debconf16.debconf.org/sponsors/
The April 7, 2016 Twitter announcement shows it:
https://twitter.com/DebConf/status/718143998066429952
I ... am one of the admins for the Debian and Debconf twitter feeds:
https://twitter.com/DebConf &
https://twitter.com/debian and most likely checked the feed to ensure the news went out.
Here in the official project newsletter issue where we mention another Microsoft Linux contribution:
https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2016/02/ (2016) (look at the authors)
An earlier official project newsletter issue talks about Microsoft adding Debian to its Azure cloud images and its endorsement of Debian (2015):
https://lists.debian.org/debian-news/2016/msg00000.html (look at the authors)
The announcement referenced above (2015):
https://azure.microsoft.com/ja-jp/blog/ ... -on-azure/
I am unsure if they are sponsoring #DebConf21, it would not be relevant here in either case.

My real name is
Tomasz Pawlak (already revealed on this forums - e.g. in the HowTo section). I would like to see
Your real name, so I could check if You're really a Debian developer - You know, lies are lowering the level of trust.

If you check the most recent forum announcement (
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=149632) regarding recent administrative changes, server updates, and software updates you will see listed the 3 Debian Developers who have joined the forums to undertake that work, I'm listed there. You can also press the contact button in my profile which reveals my @debian.org email address, if you wish send me a signed message and I will respond with my signed key. I suppose you could also just look at the same avatar/name/info that is duplicated on Twitter, here, salsa, official Debian contact points, ... etc.
Again I'd suggest that you re-read the forum guidlines:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10653, we are about to update them but I feel comfortable in applying them here.
I am also comfortable letting you know that I consider your behavior disruptive, non productive, and unwelcome. I really do not want to over-admin this thread, or lock it, or ban you, or give you another account warning, so I strongly urge you to contribute in a productive manner to the forums so that you, all of our fellow members, and I can enjoy the forums as a great repository of knowledge and community of users.
Typo perfectionish.
