Re: FOSDEM 2025: Streaming Schedule
#2Its the 25th anniversary of this volunteer organized event. Potentially Europe's largest open source festival. I feel so darn privileged to attend it in person on the ULB campus.
For those who are curious about what powers streaming from FOSDEM, here are some docs on those [FOSDEM boxes](https://github.com/FOSDEM/video-hardware)

#3Do the Java talks in the video recordings have audio?
The mic in the room isn‘t working (and I find the room too warm), so I have given up. But maybe they are recording a separate audio track using a smartphone or so for later post-processing, so the videos will be good?

Aspects of FOSDEM are really great but there are way too many people and trying to move from room to room is pretty much impossible for the most part. Last couple I went to, I pretty much camped out at a Devroom that interested me and that was much better. Also CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent which is right after FOSDEM holds less interest for me than it used to as that space has changed a lot.
I feel somewhat badly being negative but probably not my thing any longer. I'm very selective about the events I attend and there are probably other ones I prioritize.

Yes video stream and recording has proper audio.
Always be ready for layering up and down when visiting FOSDEM. Probably not helpful this time but for the next.

It‘s my first FOSDEM, and I just learned that queuing up half an hour beforehand doesn‘t necessarily mean you get inside.
But enough negativity, it really is awesome!

The popular hallway track! Talk to the people while you queue up, what they are working on, what their interests are etc may be super interesting than the actual talk itself. It may be intimidating at first but almost everyone I have encountered at fosdem are fellow nerds and easy to talk to. Remember there (almost) always streaming and recording, don't be so disappointed if you miss a talk.

Kubecon is probably bigger these days but it's much more corporate and expensive.

Yeah! Been to Kubecon EU twice, I think you're right. Valencia and Amsterdam. Way too expensive, corporate and marketing(ish) in my view. I couldn't have gone without employer's support. It's not the same crowd one would meet at these events though.
