Any thoughts about FOSDEM 2025?

[jarrodu (Jarrod Urban)]

I am considering going to FOSDEM this year. It would be my first time. I know a few other people from the community will be there.

Any advice on where to stay and what else is going on during the conference?

Here are a few links:

• FOSDEM 2025 - Home
• FOSDEM 2025 containers devroom: Call for papers
• Friends of Incus gathering in Brussels, Belgium (FOSDEM week)

I can add more to the list if anyone has any to share.

I’d usually recommend staying closer to downtown Brussels (grande place area).

The FOSDEM area itself has relatively little in the way of accommodation, so I’ve usually found it far easier to stay downtown, close to a train stations and then take a bus or Uber to FOSDEM.

One of the main bus lines going through downtown Brussels brings you right to FOSDEM, so that works pretty well, even if the bus tends to be pretty packed with geeks
