Tag: FOSDEM

FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting) is a non-commercial, volunteer organized European event centered around free and open source software development. It is aimed at developers and anyone interested in the free and open source software movement. It aims to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software.
FOSDEM is held annually during the first weekend of February at the Université Libre de Bruxelles Solbosh campus, situated in the southeast of Brussels, Belgium and easily reachable by public transport from Brussels-Central railway station.
FOSDEM was started under the name OSDEM (Open Source Developers of Europe Meeting) by Raphael Bauduin. Bauduin has said that since he felt he lacked the brains to properly contribute to the open source community, he wanted to contribute by launching a European event in Brussels. It was an immediate success, with speakers coming from all over the world.
