Since 25 years, there is a big conference on Open Source and Free Software in Europe that couldn't share the list of participants with authorities, even if they wanted to. Because there is no registration, no tickets, no waiting list. Why I love #FOSDEM, reason #5409

There is a video from #FOSDEM where the representatives of ZenDis (German Center for Digital Sovereignty)

No, it's actually b/c I needed a place to campaign for the #OpenSource Initiative elections and & bloggjng to do it wasn't interactive enough.
I am not sure what I'll do with this account after the #OSI situation is addressed.
As you may recall, @zacchiro, in that conversation at #FOSDEM that you mention, I pointed out that I do think microblogging is addictive and often pushes people toward baser form of discourse.
I will write more about this after OSI stuff reaches safe background level.

@nextcloud We’re ready to help you with #LiberateYourTranslations, and growing your localization community. That’s what we do, with care. We have experience and use cases with numerous migrations from TF to #Weblate. Many of #Nextcloud translators use Weblate with other projects already. You’re welcome 
Do you know which sticker was the most popular with Nextcloud users this #FOSDEM? @Karlitschek also liked them, and @jospoortvliet took many of them

* Gerry (#FOSDEM staff friend) and myself are rocking this without guide; seeing guides is both reassuring and annoying
* #Train ticket for one hour ride is 10 Baht or 0.27€
* There is no train bridge. We will get out, see about catching a ferry, and board a different train
* End stop is going to be Mae Klong. So we will see the railway market fold up and spread again every time a train passes. For the first run, we see it from the train

The European Space Agency (ESA) operates a constellation of satellites known as the Copernicus Sentinels. Collectively the system generates terabytes of Earth Observation (EO) data daily. Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) is a free, public platform that provides access to Copernicus data and a range of analysis and visualization tools. A talk delivered at FOSDEM 2025 dives into the details:

Après le #FOSDEM, j'ai décidé de supprimer mon compte #Meta. Plus de Facebook ni insta, c'était facile.
Le plus dur c'était #Whatsapp pour les contacts avec famille et amis.
Quelques observations :
- ma famille a bougé en 24h (mes parents ont +75 ans, l'excuse que c'est trop compliqué disparaît!) vers #Signal
- mes copines ont bougé en 48h (l'organisation d'une soirée ensemble dans les jours suivants a accéléré le process)
- les mecs ont le plus d'inertie mais arrivent !

The Flow Battery Research Collective (FBRC) are building an open source battery. Technology writer Koen Vervloesem did a nice write-up about their #FOSDEM talk in the Energy devroom. FBRC works on redox flow batteries which are better suited for long-term, stationary storage and less hazardous than Li-ion batteries. FBRC plan to democratize flow battery technology by developing an open source flow battery, starting with a development kit.

A few years ago, I gave my kid a #PostgreSQL elephant plushie (here named El-El). At #fosdem this year, I got a selfie with the human sized PostgreSQL mascot. I was asked today when I would bring big El-El to our house.
Time to start a new project and a new daily dev diary 
Following an inspiring discussion with Schabi from the #NewPipe team at #FOSDEM, I'm planning to build a YouTube client based on NewPipe for #SailfishOS.
I plan to write about my progress every day 
Once again, mostly for my own benefit, but anyone interested to follow along is very welcome!

One of the talks I would have presented at #FOSDEM, had I not fallen ill, was on #VirtualOrchestration, and particularly my personal workflow in that regard. It sucked not being able to talk about it in person there, so I decided to write about it instead.
It's a long post, but hopefully interesting enough... I'm particularly interested to hear about how you do it instead (if you do), and if my approach makes sense. Boosts welcome!
