I quite enjoyed this conference mostly for how ridiculously packed it was. It was the first tech conference where I was that truly felt like pre-covid times. However it made it painfully obvious how incredibly non diverse the crowd and talks were. With many of the more commercial conferences I was it did not feel that way, probably mostly because of how much support personal was there to balance it out at least on the hallways and booths.

It's a shame that it's still so packed even after COVID. The main thing that I disliked about FOSDEM when I was there in 2018/2019/2020 was the frustration of getting to a talk you are interested in and finding it's full from the previous talk. This happened for pretty much all talks I wished to attend. FOSDEM in some sense is a victim of its own success.
