FOSDEM 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| The volunteer organisers of the "Free and Open Source Developers' European
| Meeting" (FOSDEM 2009) demonstrated the fine art of scalability with a very
| well organised event. 250 talks for 5000 developers arriving from all over
| Europe, were held with very few problems. If such an event can have a general
| technical hot topic, then it was the omnipresent netbook and any number of
| Android mobiles: open source can slim down, be purged of non-essentials,
| start faster and look forward to a buoyant open future, running as a stable
| OS on many new small devices.

South Africa at Fosdem 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Walter Leibbrandt and Friedel Wolff of South African localisation specialists
| Translate.org.za attended this weekend’s Fosdem 2009 conference in Belguim.
| They sent Tectonic their thoughts on the two-day European FOSS gathering:
|
| Day 1
| Fosdem 2009 started! We attended the beer event last night in the centre of
| Brussels and apparently the bill at midnight was already close to €10 000. We
| were tired after the flight, so we didn’t hang around until 03:00 like some
| people apparently did. Several people came to greet us and we also had a
| random question about what the country domain of Translate.org.za on our
| T-shirts was for.

FOSDEM - the hordes
,----[ Quote ]
| Hordes of unpaid volunteers. Bunches of open source professionals. Lots of
| freedom activists. You get what you pay for. So this is what you get at
| FOSDEM. For free.
