Our Soldering Workshop proposal has been officially accepted for FOSDEM 2026. On 31 January, from 10:00 to 17:00, participants will assemble the RVPC, an open-source hardware and software retro-style RISC-V computer. olimex.wordpress.com/2025/12/1… #fosdem #riscv #oshw #floss
FOSDEM 2026 will take place in Brussels on 31 January and 1 February 2026. It is the largest European event dedicated to Open Source Hardware and Free/Libre Open Source Software, bringing together …
We are currently planning the route(s) for this trip, so it is the best time to join in – regardless of: - where you would like to start your train journey - whether you’d like to help or just tag along
Hey, all. One thing that’s different this year about the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2026 is that we’re going to include talks about the organizational and social aspects of rolling out Open Source Fediverse software for individuals and communities. Last year, we focused pretty heavily on technical talks from the principle developers of FLOSS packages. This year, we want to make sure the other aspects of Fediverse growth and improvement are covered, too.
Consequently, the guidance for last year’s event, which was focused on how to make a great technical presentation, might seem a little outdated. But on reviewing it, I’ve found that it still has good advice for social and organizational talks. Just like software developers, community builders see problems and construct solutions for them. The solutions aren’t just about writing code, though; more often they involve bringing people together, assembling off-the-shelf tools, and making processes and rules for interaction.
Talks about Open Source software to implement ActivityPub and build the social web are still welcome, of course. We’re just expanding a bit to cover the human aspects of the Fediverse as well.
I’m looking forward to having the interesting discussions about bringing people together to make the Social Web. If you haven’t already, please consider submitting a talk to pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026…. Select “Social Web” from the “Track” dropdown, and include the length of your talk (8/25/50) in the submission notes. The deadline is December 1, 2025, so get them in as soon as possible!
I just submitted our talk proposal for @roost.tools to FOSDEM! If it’s accepted, you should come to hear about how we’re bringing the open source model to trust and safety, starting with the open source Osprey project that’s already being used in production across multiple large, well-known platforms. 👀
just a reminder that the CfP for #FOSDEM presentations officially ends on the 1st of December, and that applies to our Music Production devroom too. If you have cool stuff to talk about (and I know you do!) please do consider submitting!
The XMPP Community is very excited to announce its presence at the coming FOSDEM 2026!

A evening in front of the fire and watching TV while reviewing all the amazing talks after being submitted to the #fosdem #community devroom! I love this part of the process! WOW people are so creative and smart! Get your proposals in fosdem.org/2026/news/2025-09-2…
Hello #FOSDEM crowd. If you know someone attending 2026 who creates some form of an #openart - under a free license, let them know that there could be a small community gathering for them. Theater producers, visual artists, actors, musicians, painters, photographers and more and more are welcomed.
We'll be sharing a stand with @shiftphones and @BlissLabs, showing just what a great experience our little corner of #Android can be.
Repairable devices, a FOSS #AOSP ROM and an "app store" (or repository if you prefer) for all the privacy and user respecting apps you could want to run on it :)
Of course the teamwork doesn't end there, we'll love to tell you more at the stand :)
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
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.
Want to share something cool about Debian? Maybe it's something that is brand new and will help inspire other distros, or maybe something that is in Debian for a long time but people don't know or tend to forget, or maybe something in between?! The FOSDEM's Call For Proposals for the distros devroom is now open: lists.debian.org/debian-projec… #debian #distros #FOSDEM #11
It started as a simple idea — teaching colleagues how to use OpenStreetMap. A few sessions later, more than a hundred people had learned not just how to map, but why it matters.
The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) is exited to announce the 28th XMPP Summit taking place in Brussels, Belgium next year - just before FOSDEM 2026. The XSF invites everyone interested in development of the XMPP protocol to attend, and discuss all …
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.
• 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)
Calling all web hackers, engine developers, and browser enthusiasts! The Browser and Web Platform Devroom at #FOSDEM2026 is open for talk proposals - from Gecko to Blink, Servo to Ladybird, and everything in between. Submit by December 1, 2025: fosdem.org/submit #FOSDEM
