Hi, I'm coming to #FOSDEM next week. Who wants to meet up?
I'm planning to be at #FOSDEM this time next week so if there you are planning to be there and would like to catch up please do drop me a message.
I'm also planning to be in Brussels for a couple of days after FOSDEM to be able to meet with folks and catch up with folks that might not has as much time during the event itself but do have time in the week so let me know if you'd like to catch up :)
After missing the last 2 years of FOSDEM due to forgetting about it and poor planning on my part I'm really excited to be spending this weekend actually organising my stuff ready to go!
captnemo.in/kurbelfahrpl...
I made a #fosdem schedule app for the #playdate. Made with help from Claude Code. If you find bugs, please report them in person next week.

FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): Sun Feb 1, 09:35 CET, UB5.230 (my last talk)
Accessible Sovereignty: Why the Four Freedoms Depend on Inclusion (Community devroom)
Thesis: the Four Freedoms are not real if people with disabilities cannot use the tools, study them, share them, and improve them in practice. Accessibility is the operational layer that makes software freedom exercisable.
Event: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/ANGFQX-our_freedoms_depend_on_accessibility
FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): I am speaking (again) Sat Jan 31, 16:05 CET in K.3.401.
βWe Need to Support Authors Better to Deliver Accessible Contentβ
Track: Collaboration & Content Management οΏΌ
Thesis: Many accessibility errors are introduced when documents are authored.
Audits just record the damage.
I am speaking with Maurice Hendriks at #FOSDEM:
βProcurement Is the Biggest Form of Fundraising for FLOSSβ
Track: Funding the FOSS Ecosystem οΏΌ
Thesis: donations are optional and fragile. Procurement is structural. If public buyers require open deliverables and upstream work, they create durable funding for maintenance and security.
Event: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3YWKPG-lets_take_public_money_public_code_seriously/ οΏΌ

https://nlnet.nl/events/20260131/FOSDEM26/index.html
Last week, I had an online meeting with the developers of #Gancio, #Mobilizon and #LAUTI. We either found out that we had already planned our trip to this year's #FOSDEM or were thinking about it. We spontaneously proposed a last-minute BOF, and I'm glad it was accepted. See you in Brussels! :) @fosdem
And directly afterwards there is the 
@nlnet meet and greet, great timing! :)
We've teamed up with 
@apell, 
@EclipseFdnEclipse Foundation, 
@lfeuropeLinux Foundation Europe, 
@mozilla, 
@OpenForumEurope, and 
@openssf to bring you the Open Source & EU Policy #devroom at #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26!
We're bringing together developers, Commission Officials and MEPs to discuss #DigitalSovereignty, Open Source and #Democracy, upcoming #EU policies, solving the EU's problems with #OpenSource, and the #CyberResilienceAct and #Standards.
We look forward to sharing more about the agenda soon in the comng days!

I updated my "How to survive FOSDEM" article.
@fosdem organizers updated map so I updated it as well. The change was simple: there is no ATM at ULB (for quite a while).
So I added an info about it. And some minor edit.
https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2019/10/15/how-to-survive-fosdem/
We will be attending #fosdem this year (and also for the first time). So if you are around and want to talk about #LAUTI, #events in the fediverse, #coopcloud or tech #coops in general just drop us a line for a meetup.
#fosdem2026 #fosdem26
Something I'd really like to see from @fosdem - a graph of which social media addresses speakers have on their profile / presentations over the years. Last year it was still quite disappointing that the number of people with Mastodon on their slides was quite low. Maybe something for the stats session at the end?
#FOSDEM #fosdem2026
β° #FOSDEM is around the corner! And we will be in the middle of it all!
Have a look at our amazing talks about #FreeSoftware #Policy #Legal topics ..., happening all over FOSDEM.
You do not want to miss any of our sessions?
π«Ά Follow us and stay tuned for more info about FSFE at FOSDEM.
And of course, you can find us at our booth, building K Level 2, stand 9.
GIMP will be at #Fosdem26 - OndΕej MΓchal will be talking about our plans for the future of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, #GIMP

Thingy, calm down, it's not even FOSDEM yet, it's my home!
Arrived right on time, dumped my bag, then headed out for a wander. Stumbled past the Porte de Hal, grabbed Lebanese food, and ate outside soaking up the early evening buzz. Exactly the kind of pause that makes rail travel so good.
Back to the station next. NightJet at 19:06 and my first proper sleeper train awaits. Very excited about this bit.

Rolling east through the night ππ
On the Nightjet to Vienna and weβve just passed Cologne. Lights low, steady rhythm of the rails, and that brilliant feeling of waking up somewhere completely new tomorrow. First sleeper train and I am very much a fan already.
This is exactly why I love travelling this way.

Through security and passport control at St Pancras and now waiting to board. Super smooth and impressively quick, no queue at all. This is how international travel should feel.
Next stop Brussels on Eurostar, then onwards by night train into Central Europe. The rail adventure continues.

Rolled into Paddington right on time. First leg complete and the rhythm of the journey is setting in. Next up is St Pancras and Eurostar to Brussels, then the real fun begins with night trains and Central Europe ahead.
Still very much #BetterByRail. No flying, just watching Britain slide past the window and enjoying the feeling of actually travelling, not teleporting.

I'm happy to announce that my talk has been accepted at #FOSDEM 2026 in the Network devroom!
I'll be presenting my work on automating BGP peerings in the dn42 environment on Saturday, January 31st, 18:40-19:00 at UniversitΓ© Libre de Bruxelles, room H.1302. The session will also be streamed online.
dn42 is a community-driven overlay network that provides a real-world testbed for experimenting with Internet protocols like BGP, IPv4/v6, DNS and much more. I'll share how I built an automatic peering service that's helped my network (AS4242420263) reach rank #20 of all dn42 networks.
If you're curious about overlay networks, BGP or hands-on network automation, this is for you!
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/RPJHYK-automating_bgp_peerings_in_the_dn42_environment/
Assembly X-ray-inspected and packaged.
So curious to see thingies inside the thingies!
Dear FOSDEM goer. You can fund an air quality monitor (CO2 etc) for the event and take it home. The production & shipping costs are running up to 50 EUR. Now is the time to let me know you want it: no takers - no manufacturing. At the end of the event the devices and money will change hands. Contact details are in the article linked:
#FOSDEM CO2 monitors manufacturing status: Drilling. Please stand by.
#FOSDEM air sensors initiative, details and updates
10 CO2 monitor units have found homes for _after_ FOSDEM. If you want one for your home, make it known ASAP as that strongly affects the amount of devices to be manufactured.
#FOSDEM CO2 monitors manufacturing status: Drilling. Please stand by.
@RichiHRichard "RichiH" Hartmann @fosdem ok so PCB making with sensors sourcing and assembly comes to 33 EUR per unit (if I do a big order). Sourcing USB power from mains socket is more expensive than I expected, so I am calling for devroom and stand owners to adopt a sensor, i.e. to look after it and make sure it's fed organic local-grown electricity (USB-C 5v, no PD should be needed).
@RichiHRichard "RichiH" Hartmann @fosdem my letters to misc #FOSDEM maillists seem to have been held - I guess moderation or bugs. Zero responses in any case, which is unfortunate. I take it as a sign to make the smallest possible batch, 10 units. I just want to minimize the hole in my pocket in absence of any expression of interest from others.
Order made. Devices should be in my hands towards the last week before FOSDEM. I will set up monitoring and contact schedule app devs to try integrate this feature.
@RichiHRichard "RichiH" Hartmann @fosdem thanks for quick answer! I will plan for using a power socket and giving a socket back by means of socket multiplier (extension lead).

Looking for a recommendation on ultra-light eating utensils. Due to a timing mishap on my part I'll be attending FOSDEM this year with an insecure front crown (the permanent replacement will not be ready until after I'm already on the way). It's already fallen out once and when it was put back in they said to cut everything up really small when eating. So, I am looking for a very light sturdy travel utensil kit for my backpack that is also easy to keep clean.
@chillicampariDeeAnn Little can you transport a knife? If yes, the #victorinox folding tomato #knife is superb. And then any random folding fork or spork I guess.
