<p>Gaffer-tape galore at the ULB-campus again, it is that time of year. As always it takes a deep breath before I push the battered swing doors of the main location and dive under in the fluorescent-lit hallways filled with thousands of developers. The yearly <em>Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting</em> gathers participants to any F/LOSS project you can think of.<br />
<span id="more-5746"></span><br />
Any project? This year, none of the dev-rooms, lightning-talks, BOFs, keynotes or tracks was devoted to Libre Graphics; fonts and visuals are missing from the overloaded program except for a <a href="http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/libre_graphics_magazine">lightning-talk on Libre Graphics Magazine</a> by ginger coons. Someone behind me whispers: “A yellow slide, and blue hair … that must be interesting!”, and of course it was.</p>
<div id="attachment_5766" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/wp-content/uploads/P1110671-400x320.jpg" alt="" title="P1110671" width="400" height="320" class="size-medium wp-image-5766" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ginger coons getting ready for her lightning-talk.</p></div>
<p>In the opening-speech, <a href="http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/now">Eben Moglen</a> rallies participants to “bring Freedom to their friends in the street”, and the gigantic lecture hall, filled-up to the last seat, responds excitedly to the connection Moglen makes between Free Software and current protests in Tunesia and Egypt. “There’s no time to waste,” he says; “Free Software <em>must</em> bring Freedom to the people”. I’m happy too, to see FOSDEM connect to a larger political reality than the F/LOSS-community itself (the 2008 opening speech <a href="http://archive.fosdem.org/2008/schedule/events/250">Tux with Shades, Linux in Hollywood</a> being an all-time low) and hoping that the <a href="http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/track/open_source_telephony_devroom">OS Telephony track</a> will put a bit of nuance to the statement that freedom is “when people bring their data home”.</p>
<div id="attachment_5759" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/wp-content/uploads/P1110659-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="P1110659" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5759" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Massive lecture hall fills up for Eben Moglen</p></div>
<p>We meet up with Claudia, Nicu, Michael, Agnez, Juliane, Amalia, Natalia, Pierros, Koen (inviting OSP to <a href="http://voidwarranties.be/">Void Warranties</a> in Antwerp), Wauter, John, Jon, Jakub (documenting FOSDEM this time), ginger, Donna (she is now <a href="http://lpi.org/">LPI certified</a>!), Peter (happily manning the <a href="http://www.opensuse.org/">openSUSE</a> stand), Wynke (organised a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxChix">LinuxChix</a> meet and explained how the <a href="http://geekfeminism.org/2010/11/29/get-your-conference-anti-harassment-policy-here/">Anti-harassment policy</a> made it to the FOSDEM booklet against all odds) and many more. Some of them we’ll meet again tonight for dinner — it is an opportunity to start preparing LGM 2011.</p>
<p>In-between, I manage to see some talks and presentations; as always a mixed bag. The interesting observations from Dave Neary (“<a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2011/02/01/cross-desktop-devroom-at-fosdem/">Community Anti-Patterns</a>“) keep running through my head, and I was fascinated by the talk on <a href="http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/mozilla_crash_data">Crash Data Analysis</a> in the Mozilla Dev Room. </p>
<div id="attachment_5763" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/wp-content/uploads/P1110678-400x320.jpg" alt="" title="P1110678" width="400" height="320" class="size-medium wp-image-5763" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dave Neary proposes treatment for community anti-patterns</p></div>
<p>When all talks have ended, I wonder along the row of stands, trying to decide on this years’ souvenir: sticker or mug or T-shirt? I settle for a gold-colored pin: Free Software Foundation. Established in 1985.</p>
