Summary

The Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM) is a large event in Europe for open source developers to gather, present their current and future projects, and meet old friends and new acquaintances. The event is free and takes place at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. It features around 800 talks and presentations over the weekend, with around 8000 fellow developers attending. All talks are streamed live and recorded for those who cannot attend in person or want to review later. FOSDEM also hosts various auxiliary events, including the FOSDEM PGDay and PostgreSQL Devroom, which offer specialized content on PostgreSQL and related topics. The event is a great opportunity for developers to engage with others, discuss new ideas and features, and learn from presentations and talks.
