Hi There will be a Security Devroom at FOSDEM'2025! Help organizing this is appreciated, we can use this list to discuss. Maybe we can spread the news a bit to get some more volunteers. Lukas, Jakub and me has volunteered so far. First things is to finalize a Call for Participation, what do you think about the starting point below? Copied from an earlier CfP, the detail about submissions is not published by FOSDEM yet, and I don't think the links work and may have changed. Please propose changes, especially if you can think of some new topic of interest (the current one is intentionally fuzzy to allow everything). There is a github project we can use too: https://github.com/security-devroom/fosdem-2025 /Simon Participants and speakers! ## Overview When: February 1-2th, 2025 Where: Brussels, Belgium at ULB How: physical event ## Our topics this year This is the Security Devroom and we invite you to submit a talk that is relevant to security in the free software and open source world.
