[![]({{ "/images/reports/2023-08/bornhack.jpg#right" | relative_url }})](https://bornhack.dk/bornhack-2023/)
On August 4th, Holger Levsen gave a talk at [BornHack 2023](https://bornhack.dk/bornhack-2023/) on the Danish island of [Funen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funen) titled [*Reproducible Builds, the first ten years*](https://bornhack.dk/bornhack-2023/program/reproducible-builds-the-first-ten-years/) which promised to contain:
-> […] an overview about reproducible builds, the past, the presence and the future. How it started with a small [meeting] at DebConf13 (and before), how it grew from being a Debian effort to something many projects work on together, until in 2021 it was mentioned in an executive order of the president of the United States.
