FOSDEM 2025: General organization & collaboration topic

FOSDEM 2025, a major event in Open Source, is coming soon: the “call for stands” has already opened [link] (applications for stands/booths open until 7th November).

Because I have not yet seen a topic about it, I open this one to raise awareness and facilitate initial exchange and organization about any what-when-how question that might come up.

@mattdm @jflory7 I am not sure if there is already a to-do list about FOSDEM 2025, or someone who already organizes something about it (or a ticket somewhere or so)? Just to avoid that work in done twice :classic_smiley:


Feel free to use the topic for anything around FOSDEM 2025

Thanks for kicking this off, @py0xc3! Over in the Mindshare Committee, I am working with @ffmancera to begin the planning process. Fernando volunteered to be the event owner for this year, and we have been slowly but surely getting things in order for FOSDEM:

The next steps are to create a Fedora Wiki page and begin building a budget proposal for the event. This will help us organize our efforts. A Fedora Discussion topic was also on the to-do list, but congratulations, you crossed this one off the list. :grinning:

Some things are in place though. I applied with a stand application for Fedora. We are waiting to hear back. Also, together with friends from CentOS, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Debian, we also proposed the Distributions DevRoom once again too. We are waiting to hear back on that as well.

Looking forward to this madness we know as FOSDEM!

I plan on being around for FOSDEM and the fringe events!

I am thinking of submitting a talk and running SyncStar[1] at the Fedora Project booth.

I plan on attending FOSDEM and CentOS Connect which is right before.

Our devroom “Image-Based Linux and Boot Integrity” was also accepted.
