Like always, I'm attending only the first day which mean the day begins very early in the morning. This year, #Sovereignty was clearly one of the most important topics, but I also had some great talks at the #Proxmox stand, with the guys at Vates (#XCPng) and of course at the #FreeBSD and #illumos stand. Sadly, they were in the very last corner of the floor hall in building H. Hope they still got enough attention there!

You can find my notes about the first day in my blog post at: https://gyptazy.com/blog/fosdem-2026-opensource-conference-brussels/

The video for my #fosdem2026 talk about Microsoft Bob is online!

I apologize for nothing.

Although I really like the content and the social interactions FOSDEM brought me today, I do see the scale of the event as a downside. It is really, really crowded. Not my cup of tea normally.

This is what I like about events like Hacker Hotel and EuroBSD con: good content and talks, but smaller scale events.

#fosdem #fosdem2026 #hackerhotel #eurobsdcon

I'm back home. This was a wonderful day. Very good presentations about the Social Web, lot of chats with @joplinapp@mastodon.social @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz #jenkins @openfoodfacts@mastodon.social and even a quick hello to @elena@aseachange.com.
The future is open, social and federated 🌟 #fosdem2026 #fosdem26 #fosdem

Just finished my #fosdem2026 talk! I think people liked it. Plus I got to see a life sized rover.

Finally arrived at Bruxelles for #fosdem2026 !!

"My friends are lying in FOSDEM, I wish that I was there..." 🎶🇧🇪

Apologies to Pink Floyd for the slight lyric change, but that’s exactly how I feel today. I have some genuine, healthy envy for everyone gathering in Brussels this weekend!

Even though I can't be there in person, I’ll be there in spirit. Have an absolute blast, soak up the atmosphere, and learn everything you can. I am really looking forward to reading all your trip reports and blog posts in the coming days to catch up on what I missed.

Enjoy the waffles and the code...and the BSDs! 🍻

A reminder for those of you who will be in Brussels for FOSDEM: Some of us will be there too!

If you want to meet up to chat about CoMaps, #OpenStreetMap, or other geo/FOSS-nerdery, join us on Matrix at "#CoMaps_EN_Cafe:matrix.org" to find a place and time.

We'll also bring a bunch of CoMaps stickers that you'll be able to find at the stand of our friends from @Codeberg!
