Fosdem is great, I’ve been there many times. If you have the chance you should definitely go. What I like is that is it very low-key/accessible. Over the years I ‘met’ / talked with RMS, Robert Love, Tim O’Reilly, Wietse Venema, Timo Sirainen and Larry Wall by just walking around on campus and bumping into them.
- pjmlp 9y agoI have also been there a couple of times, but the last time it felt a bit strange seeing so many people carrying around Apple devices on what is supposed to be a FOSS conference.
- Tharkun 9y agoA lot of FreeBSD development is done on Apple devices these days.
- pjmlp 9y agoMight be, but the ones I noticed were happily using OS X, iPhones or iPads. I use quite a few comercial software and spend most of my time on Windows, so maybe I don't have any right to say anything. It just felt strange seeing some people advocating a FOSS world, while their devices weren't in sync with that message.
- Tharkun 9y agoI was referring to Apple devices running OSX. Guess I should have made that a bit more clear.
