Successful Geospatial Devroom at FOSDEM 2021

FOSDEM is the largest annual free and open source developers meeting in Europe, with 8000+ participants. It normally takes place in Brussels (Belgium). In 2021 it was online.

The FOSDEM Geospatial devroom has a history. It started in 2014 and was part of FOSDEM since then. We enjoyed beeing in Brussels but the online version was great too.

In 2021 we had the opportunity to bring our global community to FOSDEM. We had speaker from all over the world like Kenia, Ghana, Greece, Belarus, United States, Austria, Argentinia.

During the day people could join and leave the room according to their possibility to attend, we got a maximum of around 140 people in the room and also an unknown number of people in the live stream.

Thank you

We would like to thank all the speakers and people involved. We had speakers from all over the world. Some were still asleep when the first talk started.

Thanks also to the great audience. It was great to see so many geospatial enthusiasts from all over the world in our devroom. Thanks for the discussions and the applause.

Big thanks to the FOSDEM team. It was an amazing conference and you provided an amazing setup.
