Are the videos ever coming back?
by Liam Proven 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

There were a bunch of talks I didn't manage to see. Are the videos going to come back online at some point? Or do I need to contact each speaker individually and ask if they kept a copy? :-( -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven(a)cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lproven(a)gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053

Not sure how long they will keep the two FOSDEM days options there to select. I am going through the registration and payment process now. Anyone else interested should give it a try.

Hi all, I know some people who have now created a matrix-account on the fosdem.org matrix-server for this weekend. Will this matrix account stay active? Or where they only intended for this weekend? Kr.

FOSDEM 2021 and LPI Certification Discounts

According to FOSDEM instructions (https://fosdem.org/2021/certification/) one must register for an exam at (https://lpievent.lpice.eu/) Unfortunately, this seems to not be working. I have tried it in Firefox, MS Edge, and Brave, on both Windows and Linux. Perhaps the missing LPI-Event option is part of the problem? Is this a known issue? -- - EJR

sincerely thanking RTC developers
by Daniel Pocock 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

This year's FOSDEM was an amazing achievement for free software. Many developers in the RTC world have been working triple-overtime even without FOSDEM. While I've contributed to this field for many years, I only contributed to triaging a few small fixes this time around and I'm in awe of what some of my peers have achieved in this space. Some of the best things you can do to thank the RTC developers, across all of the WebRTC, SIP and XMPP worlds: - join the FreeRTC announce[1] list - follow the FreeRTC Planet[2] RSS feed (you can ask to be added if your project is relevant) - some of us started our journey in the amateur radio world. Buy a few RTL-SDR dongles[3] and gift them to students or interns who will be the next generation. Regards, Daniel -- Debian Developer, VK3TQR, M0GLR, HB9FZT https://danielpocock.com 1. https://lists.freertc.org/mailman/listinfo/announce 2. https://planet.freertc.org/ 3. https://danielpocock.com/quickstart-sdr-ham-radio-gqrx-gnu-radio/

list of all talks sorted by time only
by Gijs Reulen 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

I could not find a list of all presentations sorted by time only. So I made one and share it in case anyone else is looking for such list: https://rawcdn.githack.com/Gys/fosdem/main/fosdem_schedule.html I have my favorite talks, but maybe those are not as expected or I want to fill time for which I have nothing planned. This list makes it easy to see the alternatives at any moment. Github repository: https://github.com/gys/fosdem

Online Beer Event?
by Steve Mynott 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

Has anyone been thinking of a possible online Beer Event? I've been stockpiling Belgium Beer and was wondering if anyone was on Jitsi or similar? -- Steve Mynott <steve.mynott(a)gmail.com> cv25519/ECF8B611205B447E091246AF959E3D6197190DD5

Virtual queuing for food
by Francois Cartegnie 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

We'll have virtual booths/stands. Good. Seems we might also have virtual Beer Event. Good. Because that's also part of FOSDEM fun: Maybe we can set up one Jitsi room for queuing together remotely for food. (unsure if we also need to simulate rain as it might ruin your rooms) </joke> -- Francois Cartegnie VideoLAN - VLC Developer

Hi! The first application (FOSDEM companion) listed on the website under 'mobile apps' (https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/mobile/) currently does not work for the 2021 schedule. It has an empty schedule and gives an error message upon trying to refresh. Best, Mathieu
