<div class="entry-content">We're sad to hear that FOSDEM 2022 won't
be f2f, or even hybrid, though it's totally understandable.
<p>So we have an idea to test, particularly into the MariaDB and
database communities at FOSDEM.
</p>
<p>What if MariaDB Foundation organised an informal f2f event two
weeks prior to FOSDEM? Not in competition with FOSDEM, but in
support of it. We would do the recording of the videos for the
MariaDB DevRoom (assuming our submission is successful), in
front of a live audience – not the jam packed room in Brussels
that we crave for, but at least the other presenters and their
cousins! The presenters would get relieved of having to do their
recordings, with the additional benefit of a serious deadline
and the inspiration of an actual audience.</p>
<p>Who would care to join the FOSDEM fanboy filming festival for
MariaDB devroom?</p>
<p>To avoid overloading this low-volume list, I'd suggest those
interested respond at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mariadb.org/fosdem-filming-party/">https://mariadb.org/fosdem-filming-party/</a>,
where you can read more about the idea as well.</p>
