Recording of talks The FOSDEM organizers plan to have live streaming and recording fully working, both for remote/later viewing of talks, and so that people can watch streams in the hallways when rooms are full. This requires speakers to consent to being recorded and streamed. By submitting an event, you give consent for you, your talk, and your content to be recorded and streamed. You also agree to share your slides in PDF and optionally other formats. The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). Code of Conduct We follow FOSDEM’s CoC: https://fosdem.org/2023/practical/conduct/. We also request respect towards the speakers, especially quiet entry/exit by attendees so that Q&A can run in parallel. If a question is repurposed for commentary, we will shut it down. In short: Be excellent to each other
