Hey folx!
I have booked an apartment for 4 in Brussels for FOSDEM . It is a 20 min walking distance from the venue. I have booked it from 30th of January till 4th of February in order to attend pre and post FOSDEM activities too. The total price is around 660 euro which will be split in 4 (if we manage to get another two) because it is already two of us confirmed.
If you need a place to stay during FOSDEM leave a message and ill reach out. If you do not need a place please boost so we can reach folx who are on a budget but want to attend.
Thankss!
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!

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
At #FOSDEM last year, a group of us ran a unique devroom that got developers and legislators together to discuss how to legislate as if #SoftwareFreedom matters. It made a big difference to how things went during 2024 so we are doing it again in 2025. If you want to join in, the CfP is out now:

Don't forget to submit your devroom application for #FOSDEM . Deadline tomorrow night.
Or ... do forget if you want to make our selection easier ;)

We’re making a cool game console and we need you to make cool games for it.
I'm going to #FOSDEM in Feb. If you know if any of the teams who organise devrooms or similar spaces would be open to having CO2 sensors running in the rooms, and making the values visible to participants, I'd love to know.
It feels like an affordable project to do, and quite scalable too.
Actually… I'm doing a talk in the #inclusiveweb dev room anyway. I'm happy to start with bringing a sensor of my own if there's nothing better available.
