SUMMARY:FOSDEM 2018
DESCRIPTION:FOSDEM is an annual free event for software developers to meet\
 , share ideas and collaborate.\nEvery year\, thousands of developers of fr
 ee and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in
  Brussels.\n\nWhat is FOSDEM?\nFOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event o
 rganised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free a
 nd open source software developers and communities a place to meet to:\n\n
  	get in touch with other developers and projects\;\n 	be informed about t
 he latest developments in the free software world\;\n 	be informed about t
 he latest developments in the open source world\;\n 	attend interesting ta
 lks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers\
 ;\n 	to promote the development and benefits of free software and open sou
 rce solutions.\n\nParticipation and attendance is totally free\, though t
 he organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship.\n\n\n\nDevelope
 r rooms\nThe FOSDEM team feels it is very important for free and open sour
 ce software developers around the world to be able to meet in “real life
 ”.\n\nTo this end\, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with netwo
 rk/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase 
 their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss\, hack and publi
 cly present latest directions\, lightning talks\, news and discussions. We
  believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings.\n\n\n\nA bit of
  history\nIn 2000\, Raphael Bauduin\, a fan of the Linux movement in Belgi
 um\, decided to organise a small meeting for developers of Open Source sof
 tware. He called it 'Open Source Developers’ European Meeting' (OSDEM).\
 n\nRaphael created a mailing list\, a small website and spread the word to
  people around him. Only a few weeks later\, lots of people were waiting f
 or an exciting event in Brussels! Invitations were sent to well-known figu
 res in the community: Rasterman\, Fyodor\, Jeremy Allison and so on. They 
 all gave a very positive response\, and OSDEM was on the road to success.\
 n\nFor the second year\, OSDEM was renamed FOSDEM. And now\, many years la
 ter\, it has grown into the event it is today. We now try to cover a wide 
 spectrum of free and open source software projects\, and offer a platform 
 for people to collaborate. Every year\, we host more than 5000 developers 
 at the ULB Solbosch campus.\n\nRaphael is no longer the driving force behi
 nd FOSDEM. After 7 years of hard work he left the team for new Open Source
  plans. The FOSDEM flag is now proudly carried by the following people in 
 alphabetical order:\n\n\n\n\n 	Nevelina Aleksandrova\n 	Gerry Demaret\n 	M
