It seems like our joint stand with @forgejo at #FOSDEM2025 has been accepted, thank you @fosdem!
For those of you that don't know, #FOSDEM is an annual conference for free and open source software taking place in Brussels. We'll be there throughout the event to exchange words and/or stickers with some of you.
See you in February!

I’m a total #Linux newbie but reading the list of accepted stands at #fosdem2025 is getting me sooo excited about attending: https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2024-11-16-stands-announced/
I hear talks at #FOSDEM make it feel like a 2 week conference packed in two days. I can’t wait to see the program.
This will be the first IRL conference I will attend since Women of the World in London (early March 2020). Then the world shut down. And then I had a baby (who’s now almost 4).
I’ve got 40 min to study Linux before she wakes up 😅
Combined with the impressive downward curve of cost for battery storage in general, this WILL lead to something the big power companies really fear: decentralised, local grids. With renewables and storage combined in ways, when done right, that gets us to effectively free electricity for private households. See you at #FOSDEM in the devroom on Energy Transition with open source and open standards? Let’s build the Fedigrid! https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2024q4/003573.html 2/5
Yay, the @Mastodon team will have a #FOSDEM stand! We are excited about the #SocialWeb DevRoom, too. https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem/113494067318986494
Nach dem #38c3 ist ja die Post-Congress-Depression . Aber bis zum #39c3 sind ja nur #winterchaos #hackimpott #wamp2025 #why2025 #datenspuren #mrmcd #gpn23 #vvoidcamp #seezeit #fosdem #cosin #froscon #hackenopenair #inselChaos #balccon ~50 mal Offener Hackspace in den meisten Hackspaces und viel #verteilteschaos. und es ist ja schon Tag -360. Und natürlich die Events, die du mitorganiseirst.
With the amount of public and private notifications of people contracting #COVID / #COVID19, #flu, #tonsillitis, and a plethora of other illnesses transmitted through the respiratory system, I'm quite happy with opportunistically but largely consistently #masking at #38c3. I'm fine, but I only consider our group clear by the 6th. Everyone in this group is #vaccine ated to their teeth of course, that helps.
Anyway, you'll see me #mask at #FOSDEM in public spaces again.
Consider doing the same?
I have 50 tickets to #FOSDEM to share. First come, first serve. DMs are open. #38C3 (just kidding. FOSDEM is open to all since 25 years. No tickets, no registration. Just be there and enjoy. Do buy the T-Shirt, though, OK?) https://fosdem.org
Don't forget to submit your devroom application for #FOSDEM . Deadline tomorrow night.
Or ... do forget if you want to make our selection easier ;)
