In my family's shared music collection, we have a file named
'yay_for_debian-highquality.ogg'. It consists of intermixed, sped-up or
slowed-down or normal-speed clips of various people saying things like
"Debian distributions", "yay for Debian", "we all love Debian here",
"Debian is God", "Debian is Jesus", "apt-get jesus", and so forth.
I don't know where we got this file to begin with, but we have three
different versions: one Ogg Vorbis high-quality, one Ogg Vorbis
lower-quality, and one MP3 (file size in between the other two). The
dates on them range from 2002 to 2004.
Does anyone happen to know where this recording would have originated?
I'm particularly curious as to whose voices those are in the audio clips
that make up the piece.
At least on a naive approach, Google doesn't seem to find any hits with
relevant information.

Never heard that kind of file..
Anyway, try to check the metadata inside that file, search md5sum hash
file on internet. Maybe you can get something..

Send those files too so we can figure that out

A good suggestion. I could have sworn I'd already done it (since it is,

after all, perhaps the most obvious step) and found nothing, but on
re-checking, while one of the three has nothing the other two are tagged
with the 'artist' "Slashdot - The Sync".
That would fit with the time-frame involved, and to an extent explain
why I hadn't been able to find anything by more generic search channels.

either transcoding or at least remuxing from one of the others, so the
MD5sum would be unlikely to get any hits.

You could try asking on -project.
