That said, the community spirit at FOSDEM remains top-notch and the content was stellar. I’m undecided on next year, but for now, here are my top 5 talks that made it worth the trip and inspired me:

FOSDEM 🇧🇪 2026 is a wrap!
The energy was incredible, but the logistics were tough. At times, the overcrowding felt like more than just "busy". Poor air renewal and the sheer density in some rooms, corridors, or booths raised real safety concerns.
It’s the first time in years I’ve left a conference genuinely worried about my health. The "FOSDEM Flu" shouldn't be the price to pay. I hope one day we can keep the event’s soul "alive" without compromising on basic safety. (1/2)
I'm in Brussels 🇧🇪 for #FOSDEM this
weekend!
Looking forward for the talks and also to connect (over coffee!?) with great minds about the present and future of #FOSS & #OpenSource.
See you in 🇧🇪 & in the crowd!
