It's never too early to start thinking about #FOSDEM! @bkuhn @karen @lexelas @richardfontana @tmarble and I would like to submit a proposal for the "#Legal and #Policy Devroom" to @fosdem as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:

* What did you especially like in 2025 https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/ ?

* What would you like to see improved?

* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?

In 2010 I went to #FOSDEM on behalf of the #Sabayon #Linux distro I was working on back then. It was a great inspiring experience! Meeting up with upstream #Gentoo developers. Talking with people working on #FOSS projects. Best talk IMHO was this one.

Is it ridiculous that I would like to travel to next year's #FOSDEM on a transatlantic ship?

The latest #techlounge is packed with great interviews with great people from #fosdem back in February.

We have Rebecca Rumbul from the #Rust Foundation
A whole bunch of people from Sysdig talking about #stratoshark
Frank Karlitschek of #Nextcloud
And… @andypiper from Mastodon

Put up with the background noise, there's some great content!

Dinner and a walk through a park festival at day 0 of #confconf in #Sofia, #Bulgaria

Just in those photos you see people who made #FOSDEM, #DENOG, #DebConf, #PromCon, #GrafanaCon, #CCC / #38c3, #WHY2025, #IndiaFOSS, #COSCUP, #FOSSASIA, and others happen. And more people will come tomorrow.

We're looking to have a packed agenda over this coming weekend, and I will try and do my best to update this thread with tidbits and information.

#Introduction Hello everyone! I'm N9KWK! My local is the #Sangamon Valley Radio Club in #Springfield #Illinois. I got my license a few years ago, but just started getting on the air recently. I currently have a Technician license, but I started studying for my General and Extra, with the goal to be ready to operate in Belgium next February when I go back to #FOSDEM! Thanks to those who make mastodon.radio possible. I look forward to writing about my #AmateurRadio journey here.

Just donated 20€ to @fosdem because it's existence change my life radically 21 years ago. In great part thanks to @nitot
