Our community was at #FOSDEM 2024 in Brussels, to talk about #LibreOffice, answer questions, and hand out cool merchandise! 😊 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/03/04/libreoffice-at-fosdem-2024/


#FOSDEM: While efficient video playback has long been possible in the embedded #Linux world, desktop applications have been lagging behind. Here's a look at the state of video offloading on the Linux desktop, by Robert Mader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMCMZwAiw2w&list=PLZjq3una5SrCAdJiHl9FyE6GLpekJ66Mx&index=2 #GStreamer #GTK #Chromium


@sonny I try to tag everything on Mastodon, and am opted into search, so at least people can search for "#FOSDEM has:media"!


You would never know there is a statue of a little boy peeing behind me in my new profile photo, but you are reading this so… now you know!

I also put the "broom not included curling the modern way" talk up on https://youtu.be/R-9mLclgxvM?si=hL6n-HQsFyi8qFmy #curl #FOSDEM


But you need a broom at #FOSDEM... https://chaos.social/@RichiH/111875424331882024

(Also, I didn't see you, so now I don't have #curl stickers :/ )


How #FOSDEM helped to kick-start the setup of an open public transport routing service: https://volkerkrause.eu/2024/02/10/fosdem-2024-open-public-transport-routing.html

Very excited to see where this will go!


Am I weird that I want to put together a #FOSDEM2024 β€œTV Show” on my Plex server, then organize the rooms into β€œseasons” to catch up on interesting ones I missed? πŸ˜…

Nice to meet the "open source legend" that is @bagder at the WolfSSL stand at #FOSDEM. A real inspiration and a bit of a hero of the open source world


Now caught up with @bagder's talk "You too could have made #curl" at #FOSDEM. A great story from someone who's worked on a single #OpenSource project for a long time, and clearly still enjoys it, about his experiences of getting initially excited by 300 downloads to now probably billions of deployments and the problems with having your email address in lots of projects' licence text ...

What do 70 pizzas, a pink gate, a white rabbit, the Digital Markets Act, the German public administration and 100 t-shirts have in common?

Of course it's @matrix, and all the answers to the questions above are in the wrap-up of our Matrix adventure in Brussels!

My #FOSDEM presentation about #Wayland video offloading is online. If you are interested, you can watch it here: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3557-the-state-of-video-offloading-on-the-linux-desktop/

I'm happy about feedback, both on the technical side as well as how I can improve doing presentations :)

Didn't get a chance to go to @fosdem this year, or missed any of the @matrix talks for whatever reason?

We got you covered! Here is a YouTube Playlist with all of the Matrix talks @ FOSDEM 2024

I liked most the joint dinner of #OpenPrinting and #Thunderbird on Sunday, 13 Thunderbirdies and 1 from OpenPrinting ...

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024


I've been trying to pay more for stuff I use. Once every week, picking something new, and giving that project some money, if I can find a way.

So far: @thunderbird, Strawberry, Nokogiri, @signalapp @IceCubesApp.

Inspired by some recent conversations in the space, and the #thunderbird talk at #fosdem asking OSS developers to ask their users for money.


Now that we're all back and recovering from FOSDEM, we'd love to know two things: what were your favorite talks, and just as importantly, what were your favorite moments in between the talks? πŸ€”

(And no, those talks and moments don't have to be Thunderbird related! This is not a shameless ploy for attention, we promise. We'll be MUCH more obvious about those! 😜 πŸ’™ )

Since announcing the idea of #Matrix 2.0 at #FOSDEM, we've been busy building out full real-world implementations for folks to play with, and today we're super excited to take the wraps off Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/09/matrix-2-0/ πŸ‘€πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸΎπŸ‘€


The video of the talk from Wim Taymans about #PipeWire at #fosdem is released.

What a fantastic talk! Really helpful and interesting, although I follow the progress of the project quite closely.
Audio quality was much better than last year.

@pipewire


We remain excited about the Digital Markets Act and the push for interoperability: https://www.wired.com/story/whatsapp-interoperability-messaging/

If you didn't catch the main stage talk from Matthew, Matrix's project lead, at FOSDEM, we encourage you to watch the recording once it's posted online: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3345-opening-up-communication-silos-with-matrix-2-0-and-the-eu-digital-markets-act/

I'm interested in your feedback on these thoughts. Either here, or, if your feedback is longer, for a discussion it might be best to post to

Thanks a lot to the organizers of @fosdem and the modern email developer room.

Out of the several hundred persons who saw my two talks during the #FOSDEM weekend. One(!) has provided feedback using the site. On the bad mike/speaker setup.

My point is mostly to fellow speakers: don't assume people will use that system to say anything. Good or bad.,

I had maybe 20 people tell me to my face they liked one or both of my talks. A better feedback channel!


My #curl talk at #FOSDEM I did in the network devroom takes a while to appear as there was some glitches in the recording that I could not just fix myself when asked to by the fancy video-approval system.


Holy balls. Therewere nearly *a thousand speakers* at #FOSDEM


Sudo rewrite sudo in #rust - just received this postcard at #FOSDEM.


Had an amazing time at #FOSDEM thanks to all the organisers and all the speakers!! I’ll be writing up a blog post with my highlights. Also great to meet @keyoxide folk in person. I can only recommend people to go to #FOSDEM if you can! #


git config --global rerere.enabled true

I learned this at #FOSDEM. You too might want to set it.


You too could have made #curl

So #FOSDEM24 has finished. It was again an awesome weekend with a lot of cool people, stands and devrooms 🀘🏻

A big thank you to all our #volunteers and @matrix for the huge huge huge help πŸŽ‰ It was also cool to have a nice chat with @thibaultamartin and finally meet @travisr 🀘🏻

A big thanks for the #slonik and chat to @ascherbaum and @4thdoctor_scarf

Thanks also to @kirschner for the sign in the book πŸ˜‰

After #FOSDEM is before @fosdem so cβ€˜ya all at #FOSDEM25 😎


πŸ‘‹ Bye bye #FOSDEM it was fun (and exhausting) !

I hope we can have a collective though for the significant other at home that enables us to gather like this. And I hope that that person also has that kind of support from the people that came to FOSDEM on other occasions.

As @bagder pointed out "Spare time hacking is a luxury" and "Privilege is unequal".

#FOSDEM #Privilege


@matrix @fosdem

Nice dream, but realistic?! I would like a generally understandable explanation as to why this should happen.
I love the idea of Matrix, but in terms of functionality, speed and stability it lags far behind the big competitors.

I just published a list of talks related to #sustainability at #fosdem https://mleduc.xyz/2024/02/04/fosdem-sustainability.html

With talks from @mgifford @bpetit @nhoening (for those I could find on Mastodon)

#fosdem24 #greenit #sustainableIT


Thanks for a great #FOSDEM again! Especially big thanks to all the volunteers that made it so awesome! ❀️

Great discussions, happy to meet everyone again, and the awesome atmosphere, great talks and discussions, and beers and food.

Already looking forward to next year! 🀩
