For those who are curious about what powers streaming from FOSDEM, here are some docs on those [FOSDEM boxes](https://github.com/FOSDEM/video-hardware)
The queue for the Belgian Fries truck is always longest;-)
The fact that you can't catch talks unless you camp in the room is a consequence.
I don't think it's too big, just uncurated and not very accessible. Everyone is there to talk to their own circles.
>Treasure hunters, we have an update! Unfortunately, some of our signs have been removed or stolen, but don’t worry—the hunt is still on!
Amuses me. I like to imagine it's black hat treasure hunters trying to hamstring the competition, but I know it's probably the cleaning staff.
The mic in the room isn‘t working (and I find the room too warm), so I have given up. But maybe they are recording a separate audio track using a smartphone or so for later post-processing, so the videos will be good?
I feel somewhat badly being negative but probably not my thing any longer. I'm very selective about the events I attend and there are probably other ones I prioritize.
But enough negativity, it really is awesome!
I have liked FOSDEM in the past. But, as I say, it's gotten pretty big and crowded and some other events in Europe that have been timed to coincide with it aren't of as much interest to me these days.
Anyway, my only regret was not able to stay longer to meet other contributors due to my trains constraints. I didn't plan anything, I need to do better.
