Fosdem 2026 recap

Waiting for #FOSDEM to start from te comfort of my own bed at home!

I'll be in the #fosdem translations dev room this afternoon, speaking about something completely unrelated to my usual topics.
Don't expect a ready to use project though, it's more about sharing a story of creative problem solving. :blobcatartist:

It's my second #FOSDEM, but it was my first Bytenight party at @… this year. The party was absolutely wonderful. It really cheered me up after a very crowded first convention day. I'll certainly be back next year for this. 🍻
Today one more talk for #FOSDEM was accepted: What translating Thunderbird taught me.
It's in the #translation room at Sunday.

Enjoying #fosdem? Make sure to add #fossnorth to your calendar.
Yes the #FOSDEM app was absolutely great to find my path through all the devrooms, lectures and BOFs. This largest #opensource event was just amazing! It attracted 40% more attendees than last year and was enriched with a policy track on digital sovereignty. Now just reading a review about the event on…

Back home on the sofa and watching final episode of Night Manager after another fantastic #fosdem. Was great to see old friends and also some great talks. Guess I’ll be watching recordings of all the stuff I missed for weeks. :) Specially enjoyed @… ‘s talk about spiffe/spire and the systemd vm talk by @…
@… just watched your #FOSDEM talk about Dune3D. I really like how pragmatic your software design choices are.
Lightning talks will start soon at 1600 at Jansen. Come and see the most fun part of #FOSDEM

Following some good pre-discussion at #fosdem - a first draft of the directory file specification has been updated. The goal is clarify some of the fields. Feedback is more than welcome.

Joining the #fosdem translations room today was fun, also spontaneously taking over A/V duty for the room was a nice experience. @… brought a great energy into the room despite the very hot air and the locked windows. Thank you!
Search devroom continues to be full
The #fosdem effect is similar yo the slashdot one.
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't make it to any of the booths at #FOSDEM, but there were just too many people I didn't want to squeeze through.
#today is day 2 of #FOSDEM and the first day after dry-ish January. I meant to combine them with #beerForBreakfast but only just remembered now on about talk number 4!
Conveniently, our @… stickers come in two colour variants. Otherwise it'd be hard on the eyes to label oneself an Ariel OS person while wearing Debian colors for easy recognition at #FOSDEM.
Ping me if you’re at #fosdem and want a #DankMaterialShell sticker. Supplies are limited.
On my way back to Germany from Brussels. #FOSDEM was a cool experience! Got to meet some more people I only knew online (@…, @… and
While listening to discussions about federated systems and protocols at #fosdem (like the one I’m currently using): I realized something.
It recently resonated with me through some past and ongoing projects: when people are afraid of federation, they call it “balkanization” or “fragmentation.”
Sorry for the wording @…

Thank you to all #fosdem volunteers, without all the time you gave, that conference wouldn't be what it currently is.
THANK YOU
Q: How do you convince people to use privacy respecting technologies for communication?
I am looking for real life use-cases to include into my #FOSDEM talk and beyond.
If you have encouraged someone to switch to say Signal, or Sessions, or XMPP or some other tool/protocol, please share here or via DM.
Anonymity is guaranteed. You can use also my Sessions messenger session: 0531634…
Having some nice cocktails on #tailscale - planning to head to the #fosdem afterparty at #hsbxl soon. Life is good rn. Monday might be rough though
Anyone in my bubble going the Brussels city centre this evening? Will probably be there in an hour with my colleagues, getting something to eat, maybe hit a bar.

Glad I decided to go to virtualization and cloud infra instead room early. It filled up to capacity 40 minutes before the first talk 🤯#fosdem
My #FOSDEM schedule is locked - 50% talks and 50% volunteering. I just don't know what to do with my evenings :)
Looking forward to #FOSDEM this weekend but I doubt it will be a recurring event for me, with it being in peak flu and COVID season. :blobcateyes: May my stack of FFP2 masks protect me well.
Boxcat wants me to stay, but have to head back out in the cold to make my plane to #fosdem. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones over Belgian beers. Best tradition.
