The previous edition encountered a huge success with more than 2000 developers coming from all over the world to attend the talks of famous figures of the Free Software and Open Source community.
Like hell I did. I can't speak for the other more than 1999 developers, but I went to meet some other developers who work on the same projects. All this cult of the celebrity nonsense sucks and this year, we can marvel at no talks about debian in the packaging tools thread, no talks about GNUstep in the desktop thread, no mainstream speakers from FSFE and so on. I'm giving it a miss and hoping FOSDEM gets back to focusing on developers next year. pr@fosdem bounced earlier today.
If we had a developers meeting in East Anglia, could we get the abbreviation to be EADAM somehow? That's funny two ways.
