Its the 25th anniversary of this volunteer organized event. Potentially Europe's largest open source festival. I feel so darn privileged to attend it in person on the ULB campus.<p>For those who are curious about what powers streaming from FOSDEM, here are some docs on those [FOSDEM boxes](<a href="https://github.com/FOSDEM/video-hardware">https://github.com/FOSDEM/video-hardware</a>)
Looking at the news,<p>>Treasure hunters, we have an update! Unfortunately, some of our signs have been removed or stolen, but don’t worry—the hunt is still on!<p>Amuses me. I like to imagine it's black hat treasure hunters trying to hamstring the competition, but I know it's probably the cleaning staff.
Do the Java talks in the video recordings have audio?<p>The mic in the room isn‘t working (and I find the room too warm), so I have given up. But maybe they are recording a separate audio track using a smartphone or so for later post-processing, so the videos will be good?
It was my first FOSDEM, and I managed to see everything I wanted on my schedule. I met a man from Poland in the tramway the first day and apparently, it's not supposed to be possible (but he was right about there are always two talks you want to see at the same time). I just wish Lennart had enough time to talk about everything he planned, I need to learn more about mkosi.<p>Anyway, my only regret was not able to stay longer to meet other contributors due to my trains constraints. I didn't plan anything, I need to do better.
