FOSDEM 2025: Streaming Schedule

Its the 25th anniversary of this volunteer organized event. Potentially Europe&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;FOSDEM&#x2F;video-hardware">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;FOSDEM&#x2F;video-hardware</a>)

FOSDEM these days is best experienced online. The streaming is great.

Looking at the news,<p>&gt;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&#x27;s black hat treasure hunters trying to hamstring the competition, but I know it&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;t plan anything, I need to do better.
