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.
UI/UX Design Studio Manager Laurel Terlesky's #fosdem talk is online! Explore Thunderbird's journey toward a cohesive, scalable, and data-informed open-source design system that unites desktop, Thunderbird for Android, and beyond.

Thanks to attendees for the great energy even if was the last talk on the day and also for questions and conversations afterwards!
My talk "A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP" is already available online, thanks to FOSDEM staff for their amazing work, and thanks to people who attended or we met at the RT Lounge.
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! ❤️
Very honest analysis from the #matrix presentation at #fosdem. Chasing shiny things is fun, but it doesn't help mainstream adoption or core development.
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!
You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversation
Don't miss UI/UX Design Studio Manager Laurel Terlesky's #FOSDEM talk, "Thunderbird: Building a Cross-Platform, Scalable Open-Source Design System" at 13:30 (CET) today. Watch in person (K.3.201) or online (live.fosdem.org/watch/k3201)! #Thunderbird #OpenSource #Design
If you didn't find us at #fosdem today, there's still tomorrow! Building K, Floor 1 - play with Thunderbird for Android, meet the team, find out how to get involved, and get stickers!
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.
We're live at #FOSDEM in Brussels! Come to our stand in Building K, grab some merch, and buy a T-shirt/hoodie to support the LibreOffice project 😊 fosdem.org/2025/ #foss #OpenSource
I'm skipping #FOSDEM this year, but the #XMPP Standards Foundation will be there! Stop by the Realtime Lounge¹ to chat about XMPP, pick up some merch, and maybe grab a #Conversations_im sticker—while supplies last! 🚀
Glad to finally get to participate in the EU Open Source Policy Summit '25 in #Brussels. I was able to watch the morning presentation thanks to Fred Dixon's @bigbluebutton
Made it to #Brussels for #FOSDEM. After a sleepless red eye flight to #BRU we are in a super slow customs line 2.5hrs thus far. Got to chat with random conference folks though so that was cool.
