#FDroid has a board, old news, time goes by, we get busy with the apps, the client, the repo, the server, the imminent danger, the #FOSDEM, and terms come to an end.
We seek an enthusiastic, collaborative and diverse board that can support our community as effectively as possible.

Great for Winter/Autum
But for Spring and Summer I would strongly prefere a lighter Beanie. E.G. a thin Merino Beany would be great!
Some folks at #FOSDEM tried to buy the makeshift hats one of our team members brought, so I arranged for this prototype of an official hat to be made. It's a fisherman beanie with our logo embroidered. I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this something you'd buy? (Poll in follow-up post)

As always, #FOSDEM was awesome, and we were there! We met and talked shop with folks from @fdroidorg and @weblate. Had chats about bottom navigation with random users who picked up AntennaPod stickers. And met up with key community members over dinner!
Already looking forward to next year 📻❤️ #Podcasts #OpenSource

Wow. That shit is terrible: so a friend organized this spontaneous, friendly, DIY, mutual aid booth within the ULB during FOSDEM.
In a few hours, they got evicted by someone from the official staff of the conference. What the fracking flooding fuck? I'll add more details after.

After playing around with @postmarketOS at #fosdem this weekend, I canceled my preorder of another phone and am going full on with PMOS. The gorgeous phosh-UI combined with fully OSS makes a strong case for this ecosystem.
Ein Event braucht mindestens Zeit und Ort. Und vor allem über „Location“ haben wir bei der #FOSDEM diskutiert. Wie definiert man einen Ort? Über Längen- und Breitengrad? Mit IDs in OpenStreetMap? Mit Namen? Haben Orte einen Umfang oder sind sie ein Punkt? Was ist mit Orten in Orten, wie z.B. Saal 118 im Trakt D des Campus Solbusch der Uni Brüssel. Oder: Raum FOSDEM?

So I went to #FOSDEM, but the moment I put my feet in Brussels, my Mastodon server stopped working, and I couldn't fix it until now 🙃
The problem is that the SSD was full...
Hey, #FOSDEM people I saw a stand with light blue t-shirt with a growing tree on it and test like "seed, growth, sustain". Do you know which company was selling it?
FOSDEM achievement = unlocked: yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting @bagder in person and grab some cool #curl stickers, yay! 🥳
I was really sad to miss his keynote (early train, sigh), but I'm planning to watch it online.
It was amazing to meet so many wonderful people at #FOSDEM... I've already started a countdown on my phone for the next edition. I can't wait.
And now: reviewing hundreds of photos I took with my phone and my Canon DSLR. The nostalgia is real 🥲
Anyone needs a European Sleeper night train ticket from Brussels to Berlin for tomorrow Wednesday the 4th of February? I cannot take the train, I can't cancel the ticket but it's transferable.

My trip finally begins : Tonight, the
453 will bring me in a comfortable wagon-lits to Berlin, the first stop of my #FOSSRail trip from 🇧🇪 Brussels to 🇹🇭 Bangkok connecting the FOSDEM with the FOSSASIA by train.
I will spend the next two weeks on trains across 12 countries and 11.000 km on rails.
May the games begin ✊🏽.

The more feedback we have (can def be positive as well obv) the better we can make the next edition!
Please

Yesterday at #FOSDEM, a member of the European Parliament gave me an answer in front of hundreds of people. Based on that answer, I decided to start making stick drawings for the #LeaveX campaign. Should I continue?
I don't have much experience drawing, but I can draw stick figures.
What a whirlwind 72 hours in #Brussels for #FOSDEM! Everyone I met has been working so so hard to build technology explicitly trying to break out of a broken system of corporate hegemony. There were so many different fields present here but I primarily focused on the #fediverse track.
I am really excited to watch streams of #FOSDEM talks tomorrow concerning #Fediverse discovery and following global hashtags: fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track…
I believe that this all could work much better than #FediBuzz if it gets built into server implementations itself.
Achievement unlocked: present on an actual production device, step up after preseting on the devkit 2y ago! Switching back to Plasma mobile and running games, live at #FOSDEM !
So many impressions from my first visit at #FOSDEM
One is the vast amount of stickers @nlnet offered at their stand. One stack of stickers for each project they funded. Absolutely impressive.
Tornato a casa, sto ancora metabolizzando 😅
Al #FOSDEM ho incontrato persone che non sapevo ci fossero, perso chi volevo trovare (e anche chi era con me 🙃).
Un continuo trovarsi e perdersi, non ho fatto tutto quello che pensavo, ma ho fatto cose che non immaginavo avrei mai potuto fare.
E alla fine abbiamo trovato un bel posto per incontrarci tuttə. #cosebelle
Grazie a chi c’era e soprattutto a @magostinelli, @ecofra, di @fedimedia & ai mitici @_elena e @evan ❤️
My #FOSDEM highlights:
- OpenFlexure (openflexure.org/): an open-source microscope capable of functioning as a whole-slide scanner, with mostly 3D printed parts and a price tag of around 300 euros to buy a full assembly kit including 40x magnification lenses. Honestly, the images I saw were of the same quality as the very expansive scanners that produced the images I used during my thesis. Super impressive.
- xan (github.com/medialab/xan/), a command-line tool to manipulate CSV files. I'm not doing much data analysis these days but this looks like a very handy tool for tabular data handling!
- Execubot (execubot.fr/), a "serious game" to teach high school kids Python programming. Make a cute little robot move according to a set of instructions written in Python, or write the instructions yourself. Looks great.
In general I was very impressed by the insane amount of talent on display here, by people putting their work out there for everyone to use and build on.
I've been trying their OS with a #Fairphone 6 for about a week and I'm genuinely impressed about how mature the hardware and software is. #FOSDEM
Resist. Organize. Protect.
Opening talk for FOSDEM is radically different from last years.
That was a great #FOSDEM again, met so many old friends and new people, saw interesting talks and had good technical discussions and some new ideas for things to try out now.
Some people I didn't run across, but the next event will come soon. 😀
See you next year hopefully.
I'll be in Brussels for the #buildroot developer meetup still for the next three days.

Loops is serving. Mastodon is slaying. You love to see it ❤️
This is what we actually need.
Onderweg terug van FOSDEM. Genoten. De energie van duizenden krankzinnige technici, die over de meest uiteindelopende onderwerpen disproportioneel bevlogen kunnen zijn is een fenomeen op zich.
Het doet met goed dat het besef lijkt te landen, binnen en buiten de open source community, hoe radicaal vrije software eigenlijk is, doet me goed.
Next year, #FOSDEM will be IPv6 only.
So Github will break, as it is IPv4 only (unless they get their act together).

Here we go: @tbernard and @adz are at #fosdem to tell us their plan for a local first desktop, featuring @p2panda and Reflection (wich we fund in class 01).
Setting the stage: "2025 was the year everybody, even those who do not attend @fosdem, realized they are dependent on us tech. We have to organize strategically to change that!"
I can't believe that the FOSDEM website mentions the car as one of the transport options but they don't say anything about city bikes. @fosdem ?
Now in the #FOSDEM live stream: Holger introducing #autocrypt2, a mechanism to protect against store-now-decrypt-later attacks, to be introduced in Delta!
