- AlexeyBrin 8mo agoNot the same experience of course, but I think you can watch the presentations you've missed https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/streaming/ https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/streaming/
- NeutralForest 8mo agoIndeed! It's the 3-4x times I'm going to FOSDEM so I'm mainly looking to connect with people doing cool stuff tbh, otherwise I can just watch stuff online for sure.
- jzwinck 8mo agoFor talks which will obviously be popular, go to the talk before it even if it's not as interesting. It's not common to have two super-popular talks in a row in the same room.
- NeutralForest 8mo agoYeah ofc but I also like to walk around, I might just camp in a room next year.
- direwolf20 8mo agoThis year they said they avoided making single–project rooms. These are the ones people camped in the most, I think.
- Sesse__ 8mo agoIs that right? There were devrooms for GCC, Go, LLVM, Nix, Plan 9, Python and many more.
- direwolf20 8mo agoJust repeating what they said from the closing ceremony.
- aapoalas 8mo agoF.ex. they didn't do postgresql and other DBs separately but instead just had a databases room.
- greatgib 8mo agoOn my side, I had the feeling that there was less room/talk full to the point you can't enter compared to previous years. Except in the H building.
- gunalx 8mo agoAgree, felt a little less packed than before. H building was brutal though.
- weinzierl 8mo agoThat is how it's supposed to be. You can watch the talks at home at any time but the opportunity to meet random yet like-minded people from all over Europe is unique.
