FOSDEM
Since 2001, the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (commonly known as FOSDEM) is an annual 2-day event hosting talks, tutorials, and stalls for the free software/open source community. Organised by volunteers, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, FOSDEM is regarded as the best Free Software/Open Source event in Europe, and possibly the world.
Access to all parts of FOSDEM is free, but donations and sponsors are requested to help fund the event. In 2004 it was attended by 2500 people.
In addition to the main schedule, rooms are provided for individual projects to hold discussions.
It has been the venue for the FSFs Award for the Advancement of Free Software since 2001.
The event in 2001 was Open Source Developers European Meeting. Its current name was adopted in 2003.
