Every year, FOSDEM hosts a wide variety of activities. This page gives an overview with links to further information about scheduled events. All times CET (UTC+1).
FOSDEM is a rather busy conference. Recent editions featured 400+ speakers, 500+ events and a wealth of tracks. We do our best to provide you with as much information and navigation options about the schedule as we can.
Activities take place in several rooms. An overview of the room occupation by track is available, too.
There are essentially the following categories of sessions and activities: keynotes, main tracks, developer rooms, lightning talks, stands and BOFs.
For a complete (but crowded) overview, there is also a
page that lists all events.
A list of all speakers is available, too.
During the event, the live streaming page is also updated every few minutes to show you what is currently scheduled in each room.
Keynotes
Like almost every other conference, FOSDEM invites speakers to gently start the day with talks concerning slightly less technical, but nevertheless interesting topics from the Open Source realm. The closing keynote at the end of the conference helps everyone digest the vast amount of insightful information collected over the weekend.
Main tracks
The main tracks
consist of series of talks that are organised by topic,
where the FOSDEM program committee selects suggestions and actively invites
speakers on those topics.
For this edition the main tracks are:
| Track | Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Main | - | - |
Developer rooms
The vast majority of events (talks, hacking sessions, open discussions) are
held in so-called developer rooms
(devrooms
), which are
organized and managed by open source projects themselves, or even
associations between several such projects on a common topic in order to
foster collaboration.

Lightning talks
The lightning talk is a very popular format, used at many conferences, where speakers have a mere 15 minutes at their disposal to showcase an open source project, an idea, or a concept thereof.
While that brief lapse of time may seem awkward, it almost always leads the presenters to concentrate on the absolute essence and what is really important, which is why it is often a much appreciated approach, as is the wide variety of the topics.
Lightning talks have not been scheduled yet.
Stands
Stands offer a unique chance to get in touch with developers or project members, and discover at a glance what they do.
A list of projects that will be present with a stand can be found on the FOSDEM stands page.
BOFs
BOF stands for Birds Of a Feather who, as the saying goes, flock together. FOSDEM has three meeting rooms that may be booked in 30 or 60 minute blocks for discussions. All the meetings are public so anyone who is interested can attend if there is enough space.
Junior
Anyone aged 7 to 17 can visit the workshops of FOSDEM junior. Registration is required using the link on the individual web page for each workshop.
The FOSDEM Fringe
The FOSDEM Fringe consists of independent events involving free and open source software taking place in the days around the FOSDEM weekend. Why not extend your trip?
Further details are available on the FOSDEM Fringe page.
Mobile Apps
People have submitted a variety of apps for mobile devices that display the FOSDEM schedule.
