And as usual I am asking #FOSDEM community for any updates to my "How to survive FOSDEM" post.
Since I wrote it 5 years ago it post with biggest amount of changes. Each year many people read it. Many times during event I was thanked for it.
So if you see some outdated info there then please reply.
Boost for visibility.

#fosdem is coming. Survival post reminder time then.

So far no one suggested changes this year.
We are in 71 bus. At the first stop, as tradition says.
And the bus is almost empty. Sure, all seats are taken but you can walk freely inside.
Is it really #fosdem weekend?
Ten years ago travelling for #FOSDEM meant going to city centre and buying Belgian sim card.
Nowadays it is EU roaming. With 156GB of data to use for 3 weeks.
One hundred fifty six gigabytes. Numbers changed. A lot.

Work on getting searchable events page for #FOSDEM is going nice.
https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/test/schedule2.html is preview of how that can look.
Need to sort out changes to nice commits and send pull request.
#FOSDEM soon. Today I finished booking travels and hotels for our after event trip.
What left is registering for "partner/spouse trips" and finding people for dinners.
And no Delirium Cafe until Sunday. Too crowdy.
2025 #fosdem was different than previous ones. For me.
Took daughter with me, she enjoyed it.
I saw a few talks, met some friends, spoke with randoms.
Going out now. Food hunt time and food trucks are not an option.
Before #fosdem group photo there was "who was here in XYZ year, rise your hand" phase.
It felt good when I kept my hand up for most of time.
Since 2007 I skipped two editions. Will be here next year.
"i can not afford to not be as FOSDEM" motto stays.
@kirschner #FOSDEM started recordings in 2012. Just some rooms/talks are available.
I have a page allowing to check which recording are available:
