FOSDEM! Meet the exact same people you met there 10 years ago, now just greyer and with bald spots in between the long hair, as the average age of attendees goes up by 1 year per year. Listen to weathered old guys whose common name is a handle explain why that thing you've spent months studiously learning is just reinventing a wheel from the 80s, or before. Enjoy watching people struggle with typing shell commands in front of a live audience, in demos they didn't practice or test before. Hear about niche open source projects everyone is interested in but nobody wants to maintain. Go browse the stands where legacy open source brands like Mozilla and FSF remind you they still exist and still ship code. Meet that interesting code blogger you've been subscribed to for years, and finally put a socially awkward face on that name. FOSDEM!
