FOSDEM 2025

PhAndersson

Does anyone know whether anything is planned for FOSDEM 2026?

I've not found any mention of it in the forums, and it starts in 2 weeks time...

@AppLee
I'll try to make myself available to be there on Saturday.

AppLee

Sadly nothing is organized and the foundation is still unable to attend this year.
Hopefully the ban expires this year and we will apply for a stand in 2027.

@vlad-nirky Again this year I cannot attend

If people are going, feel free to organize something, even if we cannot attend this year means you cannot represent UBports by wearing merch or talking about Ubuntu Touch to people around you

Vlad Nirky

@AppLee
I'll do, I have a beautifull sweat UBports.
Will have my phone and maybe print some sheets with key features for people interrested in.

PhAndersson

@Vlad-Nirky Thanks.
I'll try to be there as well on Saturday -- there's a whole track dedicated to "FOSS on Mobile": https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/foss-on-mobile/ (won't be able to follow all of it, though).
If I see you, I'll introduce myself

Vlad Nirky

@PhAndersson
We can arrange a meeting place if you wish.

PhAndersson

@Vlad-Nirky Sure -- that would be great!

I plan to attend the "State of FOSS on mobile" lecture (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/SW83YJ-state_of_foss_on_mobile/), so we could meet Saturday morning outside UB4.132 at 11:00.

If this doesn't work for you, alternative proposals are more than welcome

Weather permitting, I'll ride my motorbike to get there, so I'll wear a dark grey/black Rev'It padded jacket and a small blue + grey Swiss Gear rucksack.

Vlad Nirky

@PhAndersson
OK

Oh. Some years ago I went to FOSDEM.
Something I would like to do again...

Besides @vlad-nirky and @phandersson is anyone else going to Fosdem?
