Summary

The author attended FOSDEM, a conference in Brussels for passionate developers working on Open Source Software. The Twitter Graph Viz was used to visualize connections between attendees and tags about the event. A room in an old building was too small to accommodate everyone interested in graph theory and graph databases, with standing room only for talks. Neo4j had 6 talks at FOSDEM, including a presentation by Max de Marzi on software analytics. The author met local Neo4j meetup members over dinner, discussing graphs and attending another talk by Helene Astier on environment problems. The event was well-organized and thanks were given to the organizers, speakers, and attendees, with invitations to download latest Neo4j Milestone and submit Graph Gist for a challenge.
