Is there already any news on the planning for FOSDEM 2022?
Date is fixed, first weekend of February, 5th-6th. Will take place online at least, similar to last time, and we're still trying to sort out what options we might have for a hybrid event which is what is causing the delay in the announcement.
FOSDEM2021 was frickin awesome and a lot of fun. ironically i found it more engaging and productive than in-person events as far as talks were concerned (due to the live chat channel where you can engage directly *with your own audience during your own talk*, and i used this to give a running commentary, and answered questions in real-time) but definitely missed the camaraderie and random chance meetings and evening meals of the live event. a hybrid event would mix best of both worlds. l.
