- slackfan 5y agoPity n-gate seems dead, they had the best writeups.
- benttoothpaste 5y agoI miss n-gate. It’s thanks to them that I found out about hn.
- easton 5y ago“Speaker affiliation: Percona (Business Model: "Uber for Outer Joins")”
- markvdb 5y agoFOSDEM organiser here. Same for me.
- zalebz 5y agoSince I had to look it up: Free Open Source Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM)
- myfavoritedog 5y agoYou'd think that would be the first sentence on their landing or at least their about page.
- detaro 5y agoMeh, what it is is way more important that what's behind the acronym that nobody ever uses written out.
- toyg 5y agoAnybody in the FOSS scene in Europe already knows what it is, it doesn't really need more publicity.
- johannes1234321 5y agohttps://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
- tremon 5y agoWhy is the acronym more important than what is said in the first sentence on the landing page: FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.
- sundarurfriend 5y agoBecause that sentence is so generic it could describe pretty much any developer event anywhere.
- scrollaway 5y agoI've known and participated in FOSDEM for the past ten years and never even knew what the acronym stood for. The description is accurate and far more important.
- nerdponx 5y agoUnfortunately the site is broken on iOS. I can't scroll horizontally to see all the schedules.
- makapuf 5y agoThere is an App for iOS which might (I don't have a iOS device) be better for following on mobile (currenly following no Android) https://apps.apple.com/gw/app/fosdem-org/id941904933 https://apps.apple.com/gw/app/fosdem-org/id941904933
- nrclark 5y agoAre the sessions being recorded? There are a ton of sessions that look great, but I'm 9 hours shifted backwards.
- makapuf 5y agoYes, they are generally available a few weeks after. You can look at the preceding events recordings.
- daenney 5y agoI would expect it to be faster than that. Much like last year the talks are pre-recorded, and most were available within days of the conference ending (on Sunday). Keep an eye out on https://video.fosdem.org/ https://video.fosdem.org/ and in the mean time there's plenty of great talks from previous years to catch up on.
- bogomipz 5y agoI already see some on youtube from today's sessions. Just search for "Fossdem 2022" on youtube and you should see them.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoI’ve become a little cynical of FOSS (though I remain a supporter) because of politics and infighting and constant reinventing the wheel. A perfect example is on this website if you click the “Stands” tab. So much unnecessary reinventing the wheel there, it’s sad. In my idea world (everyone has an ideal world), Linux would be standardized in everything but GUI, and the DEs would run their own distributions with their respective DEs. But of course I’m going to get a lot of replies about how more uniformity among distributions is bad. I’ll read them but I still think we are way too divided for desktop success and and are spending way too many resources copying each other.
- greggyb 5y ago> In my idea world (everyone has an ideal world), Linux would be standardized in everything but GUI, and the DEs would run their own distributions with their respective DEs. Try a BSD!
- guerrilla 5y agoCan you be more specific about what you see in the "Stands" tab? I just see random OSS projects... What overlap are you concerned about? Why is that your ideal world? What's wrong with diversity and competition?
- gjsman-1000 5y agoLack of diversity is a bad thing. Too much diversity is also a bad thing. In my opinion, we have too many distributions for not enough people.
- guerrilla 5y agoWhy is that your opinion? Don't they exist because of demand for them? Why else would the exist? And why is too much diversity bad? What are the negative consequences here? The only thing I can think of is projects that you favor are lacking resources but if that's the case which ones do you even mean?
- jlengrand 5y agoJust wanna mention I'm impressed on how smooth the conference is so far. Crazy to see a fully free conference, organised largely by students with so many parallel tracks going as well as live Q/A and going smooth as butter. Kudos to the team!
- mfrw 5y agoI am one of the Volunteers -- It's mind bending to observe how everything is going on with relatively little to no chaos. I hope I do not jinx it by saying this :)
- jlengrand 5y agoYou folks really rock it. I'm mind blown. Great job :)
- markvdb 5y agoThank you. To be fair, most of us were students 15-20 years ago and have even grown a few grey hairs...
- kgarten 5y agoany talk recommendations?

- seba_dos1 5y agoThe "FOSS on Mobile Devices" devroom[0] got so many CfP submissions that it could have become a conference on its own :) Check it out if you're interested in mobile GNU/Linux!

- benjamir 5y agoFunny: website doesn't properly work on Firefox and Chrome on mobile. So much for FOSS on Mobile Devices
- pritambaral 5y agoWorks fine for me on Firefox on Android. What issues do you see?
- seba_dos1 5y agoAppears to work fine on both Firefox and GNOME Web on PureOS on my phone as well.

- noman-land 5y agoSame here on Firefox on Android.
- mikewarot 5y agoI missed the session on Genode on the Pinephone. I've been wanting a capability based OS for a decade now. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the genode command line, and how powerboxes work. I've tried Genode in a VM, but there doesn't seem to be a command line anywhere, it's all parts, and no actual OS.
- detaro 5y agoGenode itself is literally calling itself an "OS framework" for a reason, and a shell isn't really a core component of an OS vs something that runs on top of it. There is "Sculpt" as a basic desktop OS based on it to show off some of it.
- mikewarot 5y agoI figured for use on a phone, it would have to be finished into a proper OS, not just a kit. I'll have to wait for the video to see if that's true.
