FOSDEM24

We now invite proposals for developer rooms for FOSDEM 2024.

FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly developer-oriented, the event brings together some 8000+ geeks from all over the world.

The twenty-fourth edition will take place Saturday 3th and Sunday 4th February 2024 in Brussels, Belgium.

Developer rooms are assigned to self-organising groups to work together on open source and free software projects, to discuss topics relevant to a broader subset of the community, etc. Most content should take the form of presentations. Proposals involving collaboration across project or domain boundaries are strongly encouraged.

This edition will take place in person only, we will not offer the option for virtual/hybrid devrooms with remote presentations. We wil however still stream and record sessions, with a live chat for remote participants.

Devroom managers must enter a complete schedule into our conference system by 15th December.

Developer room proposals should be submitted through the form at https://fosdem.org/devroom which contains further information.

FOSDEM 2024 will take place at the ULB on the 3th and 4th of February 2024. As has become traditional, we offer free and open source projects a stand to display their work "in real life" to the audience.

You can share information, demo software, interact with your users and developers, give away goodies, sell merchandise or accept donations. Anything is possible!

We offer you:

• One table (180x80cm) with a set of chairs and a power socket.
• Fast wireless internet access.
• A spot on stands.fosdem.org.

You can choose whether you want the spot for the entire conference, or simply for one day. Joint submissions (sharing a table) will be favoured in the process.

Submit your application at stands.fosdem.org/submission! Deadline closes the 8th of December; accepted stands will be announced the 20th of December.

FOSDEM 2024 will take place on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of February 2024.

Further details and calls for participation will be announced in the coming days and weeks.
