FOSDEM 2010

FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting) 2010 is happening this week-end (6-7 february) in… Brussels! At ULB, about 10 minutes by foot from home. So guess what?

I never had the opportunity to assist FOSDEM before, so this time I'm not going to miss it.

I haven't look at the planning seriously yet, there is a huge amount of stuff going on there, it's going to be hard to make choices. At least I have seen that Mozilla is presenting some stuff, I hope I will be able to see Tristan at last (though I'm not sure it's really fulfilling to listen to someone I always agree with (well, I've been reading his blog for several years now and I don't really remember not agreeing on something)).

This reminds me I should find a way to start sharing with the community. I have been using open source softwares for years, on my day to day work, what frustrates me the most is each time I'm struggling with proprietary softwares (which I tend to avoid) while I know that the same problem with an open source software would have been solved much more easier (because of the help of the community and the availability of the source code).

So, are you coming?
