FOSDEM 19
February 2, 2019 - February 3, 2019
FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.
FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software.
Taking place in the beautiful city ofĀ Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe.Ā Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather.
What is FOSDEM?
FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet to:
- get in touch with other developers and projects;
- be informed about the latest developments in the free software world;
- be informed about the latest developments in the open source world;
- attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers;
- to promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions.
Participation and attendance isĀ totally free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship.
Developer rooms
The FOSDEM team feels it is very important for free and open source software developers around the world to be able to meet in āreal lifeā.
To this end, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and discussions. We believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings.
