Most people in the room know about Research Software Engineering!
Dan Katz @danielskatz talking now at #FOSDEM.
Now hearing from @danicat about "Making of GoDoctor: an MCP server for Go development" here at @godevroom @fosdem
Daniel's talk starts, funnily enough, by asking if anyone knows about "research software engineers." To his surprise, basically the entire room raises their hand.
"Ah... I might skip the 6 of 7 first slides then... You're a very unusual room."
#FOSDEM B-)
#SonicDE is being demoed on a #Steam Deck by the @openmandriva devs at #FOSDEM in Brussels. They launched, quote, "the most expensive marketing program in history" :-D;-) and we're happy to be part of it. Visit them at booth H4, or get the upcoming SonicDE packages for #OpenMandriva in the next few days.
P.S. The slogan on the front of the OpenMandriva booth reads:
OPENMANDRIVA - The OS Of Choice For Those Who Prefer Good Code Over Good Marketing
Next talk in H.1302: ngdevkit: Free and Open Source C/C++ development on the #NeoGeo in 2026
Awkwardly bending yourself in half while you walk directly in front of the current speaker, rather than... not walking in front of the current speaker.
I feel like a teenager when I see my personal stars at the #fosdem. Just saw Francesco Siddi and Christine Lemmer-Webber and they looked like Taylor Swift to me. Didn't want to bother them but I would have love to talk to them.

Looking forward to that! :)
