Hi Content Team, Thank you all again for supporting us with the content for FOSDEM 2026. We now have the official dates for FOSDEM 2026! It will take place from *Saturday, January 31, to Sunday, February 1st, 2026*. Now that we have the dates, we can start discussing and confirming potential main track speakers. We'd love for you to start proposing people. *How to propose a speaker* If you have someone in mind for the main track, please send us a very brief proposal with the speaker's name and topic. Once we give you a quick "thumbs up", here on the mailing list or in the matrix chat, you can feel free to officially reach out to them and get them on board. Please get them to fill out the following *private form* we have already prepared. Speakers you recommend will have a preferred spot on the short list for the main track, so their chances of being accepted are higher. This is a special benefit for your early recommendations, so please encourage them to fill out the form. https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026/cfp?access_code=Aib8bu We look forward to hearing your ideas. Cheers, FOSDEM Program Team -- Sebastian Grömcke FOSDEM Staff Member https://fosdem.org
