Friends, FOSDEM this weekend! The pursual are potential at the ReactOS booth : Colin Finck, Pierre "HeisSpiter" Schweitzer, Giannis "smiley" Adamopoulos - we will see all early for the first time (non only me, but the relaxation of the team have ne'er met him until this moment), and I, Alekesy "Fireball" Bragin - I am very content to be back at this wonderful upshot.

In the main, FOSDEM is the Atomic number 102. 1 exposition / conference on free software on the European continent. The primary time it took place in 2001, it was incorporated aside Raphael Bauduin (incidentall, I deliver an invitation to FOSDEM signed by him in person) co-comrades. Now the event brings together more than 5 thousand free software program developers from around the world.
An interesting fact: in the original, the name was OSDEM (you might think that this is a group discussion close to operating systems, but it's just an Open Source Developers European Meeting), but the ubiquitous Richard Stallman Hera ascribed the tidings Free to the name. Well, albeit not GNU \ OSDEM

FOSDEM is traditionally held in the buildings of the Free University of Belgian capital - ULB, founded, incidentall, aside Freemason Pierre-Theodore Verhaegen. The name is usually not translated, because with exemption in its contemporary understandings in that location is not overmuch in joint.

The monument to the founder stands at the main edifice of the university (IT reminds me of the State Study University and the Bauman monument). Generally, this is an old and precise honored non-polity educational institution.

For FOSDEM, everything is already built and we are starting to pull along ourselves to the place of our meeting. I got away plane, the Germans travel by train, and Giannis from Hellenic Republic, in possibility, is already there. Another good mankin named Nuno told me near another teeny open seed event that will take place today. This is Dental floss Profession Metrics Meeting. There they will discuss various gaping source prosody and tools for these metrics. I likewise applied for involvement, let's visualize if I can tell you something about ReactOS. If you take in interesting ideas, express in the comments.
