Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.
After the hostile takeover of #freenode comes the hostile takeover of the channels. New freenode "staff" has stolen #fosdem , the third-largest channel on freenode, from us. FOSDEM has moved to @liberachat and we urge you to move to @liberachat or #OFTC immediately.

We have been silent for too long. Apologies for that. FOSDEM 2022 will happen on the weekend of 2022-02-05 & 2022-02-06. We have been trying to plan since August, but finding consensus on what we can do is taking more time than anticipated. Sorry, and please bear with us.

Hi everyone. We apologise for this tweet. On re-reading after a good night's sleep, we agree it was made in poor taste and does not represent how FOSDEM wants to relate to the community. We do not want to normalise serious problems. We should indeed do better.

VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOSDEM is a conference entirely made by volunteers. While a small crew works on it year-round, most of the work during the conference is done by a large, enthusiastic group of great people who donate their time to make FOSDEM happen: you!

Our plans for next weekend are pretty much complete! You may want to plan some highlights in your visit: Pro-tip if you’re a new visitor: unless you’re staying in one room, don’t plan entire days of back to back talks, getting around takes time.

Please note, despite the keynote mentioning the t-shirt shop, we still have some issues with the t-shirt sales. So please refrain of trying to order a t-shirt yet. We'll report later when it's up... This year there is no rush as there are no limits to the amount of shirts :)

FOSDEM is empowered by its volunteers! If you attend main tracks or lightning talks, we are still looking for people for the heralding task (announce the speaker, ensure the talk ends on-time) & video (pointing the camera in the right direction)
