To all #FOSDEM people - last year we took over the main Janson stage on Saturday evening to do a "Big FOSDEM Quiz of Year". Basically, a TV-style quiz all about open source. We had some pre-invited guests, and some impromptu contestants from the audience.
This year, we'd like to be a little more planned! So, if you'd like to be on the main stage (6pm on Saturday) then DM me and I'll put your name into a digital hat. Selections by Friday!
Please RT for reach!
In the run-up to #FOSDEM, always think of what people try to protect via copyright. In this case, it's three blank lines!

The music production devroom has the prettiest crowd :)

My #FOSDEM talk on #Eliza, entitled "Eliza: Rewriting the original AI chatbot from 60 years BC (Before ChatGPT)", is now available online:
With feedback ranging from "Amazing" to "Excellent" and "one of the great talks", if you're only going to watch one of my presentations it's probably wise to choose this one!
As I gingerly make my way to #FOSDEM, I make offerings to St Christopher in the hope of getting there safely to deliver talks on:
* Eliza: Rewriting the original AI chatbot from 60 years BC (Before ChatGPT) (Sunday 13:25)
* Translating bad grammar into good (Sunday 14:51)
* MIDI Live performer (Sunday 15:40)
and, of course,
The Big FOSDEM Quiz of the Year! (Saturday night's entertainment slot in Janson, 18:00)
Sos: does anyone at #fosdem have a lenovo thinkpad charger to lend for the 6pm quiz on Saturday? Looks like attached.
If you're in need of a thread-safe, native #C++, implementation of #DBus I recommend DBus-ASIO. (As seen at #FOSDEM!)

Does anyone have an inkling of the attendance at #FOSDEM this year?

If you weren't at #FOSDEM, or in the music production devroom, you definitely missed out. (Just read Lorenzo's report to find out just how much you missed!)
Luckily there are videos online, but they don't quite capture the magic of being there.
