Hi, This is the call for participation in the FOSDEM 2025 devroom on Collaboration and Content Management, to be held on Saturday, February 1st 2025 at the ULB Solbosch Campus, in Brussels, Belgium. The main goal of this devroom is to discuss and present new software, tools, techniques, and methods when it comes to building Open Source software for collaboration.
