FOSDEM on ice

Contrary to the “regular” FOSDEM experience of rain and mild temperatures, 2025 receives us with freezing cold weather. Everything else was as we know it however: endless queues for coffee and building J almost bursting during the opening talk.

Volunteering at 8 a.m. presents a vastly different picture of the conference as the ULB area is still mostly empty except for the yellow FOSDEM staff and a flock of volunteers. The calm before the storm, if you will.

Notes from Saturday’s talks

Worth mentioning too what didn’t happen: the advertisement talk by that Twitter/Bluesky crypto-bro did not take place after all.
