As written in my previous blog post, Marcus and I have been visiting FOSDEM 25 at the beginning of February 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. This year we helped organize the first Fosdem Robotic and Simulation devroom!
Attending FOSDEM
I have been attending FOSDEM every year since 2015 (except 2020 and 2021 unfortunately …) and while it continues to grow year after year, it is still an awesome experience. It is a great place to talk to the people that make the software we use every day and to get new ideas.
This year we have had very good talk at different booth, most notably at KiCAD and Zephyr, since they are key to the work we do at Bitcraze. We could also attend a couple of really nice talks even though all the dev-room were full most of the time. And as usual we have also seen a lot of random booth and talk that sparks enough ideas to last a couple of years :).
Robotic and Simulation dev-room
Speaking of full dev-room. We helped organize the Robotic and Simulation dev-room this year. This is the first time there is a robotic dev-room at Fosdem.
The room was a success, it was full all-along and we have very nice talks. It was great to have a meeting point for robotics at Fosdem and we will definitely do it again next year!
If you missed it, most of the talks video are now available on the Fosdem website in the robotic and simulation dev-room page.
