Together with @forgejo, we will have a presence at #FOSDEM 2026! (Thanks @fosdem!)

FOSDEM will take place in Brussels between 2026-01-31 and 2026-02-01—it is the largest European conference on free and open-source software and the admission is free (as in beer).

Just like last year's FOSDEM, we will be running a stand, exchanging stickers and having delightful conversations. If you find anyone wearing a badge of either project's logo, feel free to say hi. :D

Bag with two pins. One has the Codeberg logo on it, the other one has the Forgejo logo. The image was mildly posterized using GIMP.

People who have been to #FOSDEM before: do projects sell t-shirts there?

I am in need of some new geeky t-shirts, but I could wait a couple of months if there is likely to be a selection there.

Last year the Geospatial devroom only had half a day at FOSDEM, and we still ended up with a packed room and a queue down the corridor.

This year we have the whole of Saturday to ourselves, so if you have something geo-flavoured to share, whether it is maps, data, tools, clever hacks, fieldwork tech, city projects, OSM magic, climate work or anything else, now is the moment to submit a proposal.

The CfP is open until 1 December:

An empty lecture room with tiered seating arranged in a horseshoe around a central stage and projector screen. Taken before the Geospatial devroom began, the room later filled up with a full audience and a queue outside.

We're so happy to annouce that we have an open source design devroom and we're now accepting calls for talks via the FOSDEM pretalx system.

Open Source Design has been part of FOSDEM for over a decade now, making sure designers who work with, or contribute to free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) a platform to share their ideas.

Anyone interested in the #HackerTrain to #FOSDEM 2026, here is the quick (and long overdue) analysis of the interest check survey after FOSDEM 2025:

hackertrain.org/analysis-of-th…

In summary:

• 80% of respondents would (very) likely go
• so HackerTrain to FOSDEM 2026 is going to happen
• it will be organized as a distributed affair on several routes to accommodate for the diverse geographical and temporal needs
• most people would pay 100-120 € one way (we likely cannot affect that this year much)

Thanks for your post & your counter 😆

I'm curious: you characterize the EU #CRA as requiring #SBOM's *specifically*. I know the License Compliance Industrial Complex wants it to be true, but I researched this issue for my #FOSDEM 2025 talk…
fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…
… & IIUC CRA *doesn't* specify SBOMs specifically.
IMO, if the vendor gives the customer complete, Corresponding Source & a 100% @reproducible_builds they've complied with CRA. No one has shown me anything that disproves that.

The ecosystem is moving ... away from corporate centralization and mindsets.
Billionaires are out, federated and multi-player systems are in, if we gather the many chats, gossips and happenings around #fosdem correctly. Dispersing ourselves around Bruxelles the last couple of days was very enjoyable (thanks Sun!) and helpful to orient in convivial directions in this otherwise extraordinarily stupid 2025 timeline ... thanks to the many people we enjoyed conversations and hang outs with! ❤️
Picture of entrance to "Delta" subway station close to the ULB Fosdem conference location. It's beginning February, trees mostly have no leeves, and there are wall paintings: a kind of animal/human in black on yellow ground, as well as a yellow/blue towerlike structure with some red and black graffiti. A stairway and two machine-rolling stairways are visible, one of them currently blocked.

Very honest analysis from the #matrix presentation at #fosdem.
Chasing shiny things is fun, but it doesn't help mainstream adoption or core development.
Lots of amazing experimental projects to grab attention/funding and demo Matrix’s potential and inspire people to build on it: o P2P Matrix! Low bandwidth! Hydrogen! Dendrite! Gitter! o 3D calling! Matrix VR Demo! CRDTs! Element Drive! Applications Beyond Chat! But all this inspirational work stole energy from writing a Killer app.

Great talk by @mrchrisadams at @fosdem this year. Loved how he explored #WCAG's #POUR in the context of older devices. Not everyone can update their devices every 2 years, but absolutely nobody should!

Talk by Ilya Zverev about #15minutesCities

Being able to do most of your things in a 15 minutes transit distance from your home is a great quality of life and environment indicator for a city.
He talks about how to measure this metric and identify which cities and neighborhoods are 15-minutes compatible.

At #FOSDEM, @bagder notes that this weekend project hasn’t happened yet 😄

His talk about how the curl project works to keep it as secure as they can was very good.

Daniel Stenburg stands in front of an audience, presenting a slide with a mocked up O’Reilly book cover titles "Rewriting curl in rust" alongside a zebra illustration and a subtitle of “A Weekend Project” Stenburg wears a t-shirt that reads "MAINTAINER" multiple times.
