Going to book my #FOSDEM accommodation well in advance.

What's your favourite hotel in Brussels for FOSDEM?

(Looking for personal recommendations from people who have gone to the conference recently.)

The #FOSDEM call for stands is now open for submission

#FOSDEM2027 @fosdem

There's a FOSDEM smell in the air, the season is starting: submit your devroom proposals now:

As the #FOSDEM 2027 weekend is confirmed, It might be time to check out my FOSDEM guide and help me polish it further: https://github.com/bagder/FOSDEM

If you intend to invite people (like me for example) to events in Brussels the crazy week before #FOSDEM in 2027 - do that many months ahead of time please.

#FOSDEM will happen on the weekend of 2027-01-30 and 2027-01-31!

We'll post a proper news item once all the automations work after our yearly archiving cutover.

Here we go, the next #FOSDEM dates for #FOSDEM27 are live at https://fosdem.org/2027/ 🎉🤘🏻 @fosdem

@russss how did you end up doing #CO2 monitoring at #emfcamp? Between #fosdem and #eventinfra we are close to spending 10k€ on #airgradient because they do most things right, and we were not able to get our own hardware spun up.

Intention is for everything to go into the eventinfra loan pool so ALL the conferences can monitor their environments.

Before we make that step, we wanted to check if it makes sense to collaborate on fully open hardware, firmware, and software stack instead.

#FOSDEM kick-off meeting

Alt...

A group of two dozen people around a messy table.

Tomorrow, we will have our #FOSDEM kick-off meeting in #Brussels (and remote). Maybe we will announce some... dates... after the kick-off

@Codeberg so, about /me threatening to switch off #IPv4 during #FOSDEM and thus taking down #GitHub... Look what they did two days after my toot...

They're not reachable yet, but that's progress. No matter what, I will only have #IPv6 on the @fosdem default network.

Hey #GitHub, it's roughly half a year until #FOSDEM.

As a reminder, I will disable the #NAT64-based #IPv4 fallback on the default network next year. The default network will be #IPv6-only.

I do note that @Codeberg does support IPv6.

@azonenberg
Why not proposing your talk to #Fosdem ?
It's also in Belgium (end of January, 1h talk max)

@mhd @rl_dane @dougmerritt @AmenZwa @synlogic4242

Kudos for the "Kool DE" reference. From the way the millennial types respond to me _remembering_ this stuff, you'd think I was 158. It was only 3 decades ago. I own *clothing* older than KDE.

Tell me, seen any of my #FOSDEM talks? I think you'd like them.

Fascinating that @amd advises #FOSS leaders who come to complex & nuanced initial conclusions that they took 4 yrs of study to become morally & ethically sure about that they “should have stayed quiet”.

I never stay quiet once I believe an important issue in FOSS demands nuanced exploration.

It's why I co-keynoted #FOSDEM about *using* proprietary software

Leaders who keep their true opinions about relevant policy matters are nasty & sneaky politicians. I won't be one.

Le programme du #FOSDEM de 2001 n'est pas très explicite.

Alt...

KDE: features, architecture and development framework. David Faure will talk about KDE Mozilla Axel Hecht will talk about mozilla The Hurd - Markus Brinkman Markus will talk about The Hurd. Smoothwall Richard will talk about Smoothwall and its growth. Writing Free Software in Java Johan will talk about Blackdown.

#OverUnder 069 with @elena

She shares her thoughts about #FOSDEM, #Jellyfin, #Yunohost, #LEGO, and, being Italian, I have to ask her about #Pizzas.

She also replied to @daj 's question.

She recommended two #books I will definitely read.
