Given that part of our staff is foreign (some even from outside of Europe due to BREXIT) we estimated that even getting all our staff in Belgium for a physical FOSDEM would be hard. After some long debates we decided to go virtual again despite most of us wishing it could be onsite again... but we just didn't see it happen -yet- in a normal fashion for 2022, in hindsight it was the right decision...

T-shirts and hoodies available!

@yukiame sure they will, the university was fine with us hosting FOSDEM 2022 there. But there were multiple other issues that made this a tough call for the event next year... (wish Santa could deliver a crystal ball to see into the future... )

FOSDEM 2022 will be online

We have been silent for too long. Apologies for that.

FOSDEM 2022 will happen on the weekend of 2022-02-05 & 2022-02-06.

We have been trying to plan since August, but finding consensus on what we can do is taking more time than anticipated.

Sorry, and please bear with us.
