933 speakers, 67 tracks/devrooms, 62 stands.

"If there is a sign saying 'This room is full', it means the room is full."

#FOSDEM

Now, the feminist talk "Where have the women of tech history gone?" by Laura Durieux
The room empties.

Side note: according to an unscientific survey done by an amateur observer, there are not many women at FOSDEM.

#FOSDEM

"Computer was a job" (once upon a time, computations were done by hand).
Nicole-Reine Lepaute, an astronomer, did calculations that way.

#FOSDEM

"She wrote the first algorithm" (Ada Lovelace)

Clearly false, algorithms are known from Antiquity.

Hiding non-European people is bad, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi

#FOSDEM

Debugging the #ENIAC was done by wiring and unwiring. Six women worked on this task.

#FOSDEM

No #Cobol code on the screen when talking about Grace Hooper :-)

(Quick survey by the speaker: "who programmed in Cobol in the room?")

#FOSDEM

Now, following the lightning talks, pending my own talk. A bit of everything.

#FOSDEM

"The world can't be coherent." (in a talk about distributed systems.)

#OpenFoodFacts : Acting on the health and environnemental impacts of the food system, by Pierre Slamich

Timely with the many demonstrations of peasants.

#FOSDEM

"Information on food packaging in the supermarket is abstract art. We want to make it readable."

Don't panic. Organise. (Today 3 million products.)

#FOSDEM

OpenFoodFacts also has eco-score (impact on the biosphere).

#FOSDEM

Depends on the country: 3 % fruit in Fanta sodas in Serbia (12 % in Italy).

#FOSDEM

Plan to merge with other projects to have Open Products Facts.

#FOSDEM

By the way, among the sponsors of Open Food Facts, there is my employer (well, its foundation).
