I agree. It was my first FOSDEM, but I was a little frustrated that I caught maybe 20% of the talks I actually wanted to see. I didn't even get into the PostgreSQL room, despite turning up 15 minutes early for one of the talks. That said, just complaining about a free conference on Hacker News won't help. I'd like to do my part and help by donating, but only accepting wire transfers is a lot more friction that it should be :(
