I've booked both my plane ticket (was easier to get some funding that way than by rail) and my hotel. I'll be attending Fosdem again this year. This year I'm not organizing anything (no KSP, but there are no KSP @ fosdem this year, nothing in the Mozilla room either). I have volunteered to help set up and cleanup, though. I had already done the cleanup one year, and it was fun, so as I had the time. This time I'll be cabling the network and cleanup again.
Things that changed since the last fosdem I attended :
- As said above no KSP.
- No BSD devroom, no OpenBSD booth
- No Geo related dev room
- No Linux LPI/BSD exams
That's a lot of changes, because I was looking forward to participating on these subjects. On the other hand, there is a nice and interesting email devroom. And I have long time friends talking in jansen. I still remember a big company back in 2010 saying they' move off email in the year to come. I laugh everytime I think about this.
Florian will be talking about a subject he's been working on for the last 6 years at least : measuring how much things consume electricity. His ultimate goal is to reduce consumption. When I was working at Mozilla I argued with Florian, that we should change the build system and release process, and He argued back that with millions of users, going after the product was the way to go.
Bogo will be talking about email.
Both have talks accepted in the main track, but I can't link to them yet as the schedule is not finalized yet.
I have installed Fosdem Companion to build my schedule. If you've never been to fosdem, it's crowded, line 71 buses are always full, either take the tram and come early.
