This year FOSDEM is going to be an online event. All talks will need to be prerecorded and shared with FOSDEM organizers. Please only propose a talk that you're really able and willing to share.


Topics Sought


The embedded devroom seeks topics related to automotive, industrial, mobile, consumer electronics, autonomous and generally embedded systems, either from a professional or hobbyist background. Topics such as operating systems (Linux, free RTOS), hardware platforms (from microcontrollers to microprocessors, FPGAs) and software stacks are welcome. Related areas are of course of interest as well and our definition of "embedded" is elastic.

2017

FOSDEM is one of biggest Events in Europe.

Check 2017 edition:


Communities dinners

There are also side events listed at:

But this elinux page can be also used for organisation of some of them


Connected things/Automotive Community dinner

As suggested by various communities (Tizen,Automotive, Automotive Grade Linux, GENIVI, IOT, Embedded etc) it could make sense to make an automotive/connected/thing focused BOF meeting on Saturday evening, too.

We plan to have dinner in a restaurant and some drinks/beers afterwards in a bar.


Meeting points


Extra infos:
  • Let me suggest to *take cash with you*, because I noticed that lot of Belgium restaurants refuse to accept separates card payments (I suspect they want to avoid extra commissions from foreign cards ?)
  • Note that we reserved for 30 persons (based on the poll), The place could host more persons, but there is no guarantee. If we're too many, community will have to divide into other smaller self managed groups. After all this is up to community to decide :-).
