Dear all, as some of you have noticed, we have not put out an official announcements regarding FOSDEM 2022 until now. To expand a bit on agk's response[1]: We do know that the weekend ULB would be able to let us onto their premises is 2022-02-05 & 2022-02-06. As such, FOSDEM will happen at that date. As per usual, we started planning for real in August. We have consensus that there will be an online component to FOSDEM. We do not yet have consensus on what, if any, form an in-person component could look like. These discussions are ongoing, and not easy. We are painfully aware that this is shifting and compressing not only our, but everyone's schedule and planning. I had volunteered to communicate all the above a month ago and failed to do so. I am sorry for that. To be completely honest, all this uncertainty and the responsibility are weighing on all of us, myself included. What we do know is that barring some new variants, we will have an awesome FOSDEM 2023 - and we will do our best to make FOSDEM 2022 the least bad one possible.
