Several of our core team members will be attending #FOSDEM this year. We don't have an official presence (stand), but if you want to say hi, ping us here or on matrix!

Still open: what to take for a snack, to avoid the crowd at the food court.
Also, do I need EUR cash for the merchandise? Or everyone's accepting cards and Paypal?
As ever in January, Element lit up like a Christmas tree on my phone as all the #Matrix invites for #FOSDEM came in this evening. Feels vaguely festive.
Although there won't be any dedicated devroom for #accessibility electronics at #fosdem , nothing prevents us from hooking up in the cafeteria or something. Anyone interested in adaptive technology for the disabled, it will be great to meet you.
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
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 …
I really hope that @Mer__edith comes to #FOSDEM and announces that #Signal will move at least parts of their server infrastructure to Europe and other regions, using hosting companies that are not connected to the US in order to mitigate the risk of a Trump order to shut their AWS account(s) down.

I am thinking of going to #FOSDEM. But the travel time is quite long 14-16h+. So I would like to combine it with some additional trip "nearby". Any recommendations what to do in winterly times?
#IzzyOnDroid is about community. That's why we don't want our #FOSDEM visit to be just about us, but also about all the amazing apps that make IzzyOnDroid so great.
Do you have an app that's available on IzzyOnDroid? Bring some stickers with you to FOSDEM and drop them off at our booth! We'll make sure to display them so your users can pick some up!
BTW, I was once invited to moderate a DNS panel at #FOSDEM composed of the greats of the Internet: @bagder , @bortzmeyer , and @bert_hubert
Main reasons for my agreeing to moderate was a) so that I could actually enter the otherwise FULL DNS dev room, and b) to ask Daniel for a curl sticker.
Anyway, I had a fun time, and guess what I returned home without?! #trueStory
Here's the recording of the event: I'm the fat chap holding the mic.

Marp (also known as the Markdown Presentation Ecosystem) provides an intuitive experience for creating beautiful slide decks. You only have to focus on writing your story in a Markdown document.
We’ll be in Brussels showcasing Bliss OS, Waydroid, SmartDock and more from our open-source ecosystem, alongside @IzzyOnDroid and our friends @shiftphone at booth UD2-02.
We’re excited to share what’s next for the BlissLabs ecosystem.
Should you attend FOSDEM this year, make sure to drop by our stand – and maybe also listen to our talks I've just updated the news post at our OpenCollective with details for you, see opencollective.com/izzyondroid…
At our stand, you will find us (with stickers), @SylvieLorxu (the Cat Ima!) also with Catima stickers, @electrikjesus with Bliss goodies, and our friends from @shiftphones with their goodies.
However, I figured, if I go there, why not order some #Catima stickers. After all, Catima is an app available on IzzyOnDroid :) They just came in and they look nice :)
Make sure to ping me at FOSDEM or visit the IzzyOnDroid stand to get one!
I have been trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.
I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.
If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will update this thread with the list of confirmed speakers.
