This time of year, Brussels, Belgium is always a big community focal point for free and open source software, when FOSDEM brings passionate and talented members of the community to town.
Many organizations take advantage of the gathering and stage events of their own. Red Hat’s community members are pleased to host and participate in all of these events, especially FOSDEM.
On Friday, February 1, the CentOS Project will be hosting their annual Brussels CentOS Dojo. A full agenda for the one-day event, being held once more at the Marriott Grand Place, is available on the Dojo event page.
At the same time, those interested in community metrics can attend the one-day CHAOSSCon Europe event, this year at the L42 Business Center & Workspaces. This event, hosted by the Linux Foundation’s Project CHAOSS, “will include CHAOSS updates, use cases, and hands-on workshops for developers, community managers, project managers, and anyone interested in measuring open source project health,” according to the event site.
FOSDEM Lineup
Red Hat will be well represented this year at FOSDEM, with many community booths on display, as well as a number of talks announced for various DevRooms. For those attending, here is a brief overview of what is in store (all times CET local).
