FOSDEM22

FOSDEM 2022 will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2022. It will be an online event.

After several long and passionate debates, we have decided to make FOSDEM 2022 an online event.

There are a lot of good arguments in favor of physical, hybrid, and online events each. We do not wish to rehash all of them in public, so please understand if we do not engage in public debates on their relative merits.

This was not an easy decision, but at least it's a decision. Similar to CCC, we would prefer something else, but it is what it is.

On a positive note, we can now plan. Expect a timeline for the usual submissions within the next 1-2 weeks.

FOSDEM 2022 will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2022. The exact format is yet to be decided.

As every year, we have started planning for real in August. As evident from our lack of updates since then, it's a bit harder this year.

There are a lot of strong opinions about what the best, or least bad, FOSDEM 2022 could look like. Finding consensus is harder than we would like it to be. Going forward, we will do a better job of keeping you informed going forward. Apologies; we're also burned out and just want our old lives back.

We are painfully aware that we're not only compressing our schedules, but yours as well.
