This is what we actually need.
In case you have been offline for the last few days, our team and volunteers are at #FOSDEM! !
If you are around come by at our booth, Building K second floor. Once you are there, check for the balloons 😉
We have new t-shirts, a lot of stickers, sock and more!!
This is what we actually need.
For 25 years*, FSFE : fsfe: contributors have participated at #FOSDEM. Support our work for #SoftwareFreedom by helping us gain 25 new FSFE supporters at this year’s FOSDEM!
#FreeSoftware needs you!
*Yes, FOSDEM is our big bother, one year older than us 😀

Last year @ #FOSDEM, I got COVID. I ∴ missed my own keynote.
@karen & @ossguy filled in for me well, but I also *could not work on #FOSS for a WHOLE MONTH after*!!!
We all have important work after #FOSDEM2026. Why let the #FOSDEM26 flu/COVID slow down #OpenSource?
Wear a mask all day today & tomorrow unless you're on stage or asking a question.
If you need a mask or hand sanitizer, visit #SoftwareFreedom Conservancy's stand at K level 2 (group A).

People might be more comfortable taking that advice if the people staffing the SFC stand were themselves wearing masks and not posting photos of their bare faces. Don't wait until you've lost a chunk of your life to Covid before you start taking this seriously.

WE ARE HERE! 🎉
A train strike made getting to Brussels slightly challenging, but what’s life without a little adventure? 🚆😉
#FOSDEM has officially started! Our booth is already super busy (so busy it was impossible to snap a pic of our cool merch and stickers 😅), and one of our favourite devrooms, the Legal & Policy, is already in full swing!
Happy FOSDEM!!
If you’re going to FOSDEM, please wear masks. The venue is stuffy and con crud was a thing before the virus that can take away your ability to concentrate enough to make software.

Our time machine pulled a trick (again 😉) and brought us a batch of FSFE Fellowship hoodies. Made from the high-quality cotton of 10 years ago and featuring a cosy, spacious front pocket that fits (almost) everything.
Whether you’re feeling :fsfe: nostalgia or always regretted not getting one back then, this hoodie will make you feel like an FSFE supporter from the old days.
Grab one at #FOSDEM for 42€ and be fast: they really will never come back again
