FOSDEM 2027
About This Event
FOSDEM 2027 is one of the world's largest community-driven conferences dedicated to Free and Open Source Software. Held annually in Brussels, Belgium, the event brings together thousands of developers, contributors, project maintainers, users, researchers, and open-source communities from around the world.
The two-day conference provides a place for Free and Open Source Software communities to meet, exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, discuss emerging technologies, and share technical knowledge. FOSDEM is strongly developer-oriented and covers a broad spectrum of the open-source ecosystem, from Linux and operating systems to programming languages, infrastructure, networking, security, databases, desktop technologies, hardware, cloud computing, and many specialized open-source projects.
A defining feature of FOSDEM is its developer rooms, or “devrooms.” These are community-organized spaces dedicated to particular technologies, projects, or areas of interest. They allow contributors and users to participate directly in technical presentations and discussions while encouraging collaboration between different projects and communities.
The conference also features main-track presentations, lightning talks, project stands, demonstrations, community meetings, and opportunities to meet the people developing many of the technologies that form today's Free and Open Source Software ecosystem.
One Country — Many Groups — One Voice.
