FOSDEM（自由和开源软件开发者欧洲会议）是一个非商业性质的、志愿者组织的会议，近万人聚集到一起，围绕自由和开源软件开发进行讨论。 它针对开发人员，以及任何对自由和开源软件运动感兴趣的人。这是一个真正完全开放的活动，任何人都可以走上前去参加任何事情。这个活动甚至没有注册流程。然而，这里充满了许多重要的自由软件项目的核心人员，这些项目为我们所生活的世界提供了源动力。 对我个人而言，FOSDEM 一如既往地精彩且带劲。我第一次去 FOSDEM 是大约五年前的事了。当时，当我告诉人们我在 F-Droid 上工作时，他们会问：“那是什么？”。等到我去年再参加，并提到 F-Droid 时，人们大多会回答说：“oh yeah, nice project!” 今年，我感觉大多数人的反应是向我展示他们手机上安装的 F-Droid，然后感谢我。这真是让我收到了一次美妙的认可，尤其还是当面的，这也很好地提醒我们，尽管我们的日常体验主要也不过是处理人们报告的问题，但我们也正对人们的生活造成积极影响。 我投身自由软件的时日是如此之长（算上今年有30年了！），我随便走上 50m 都很难不遇到我应该与之谈谈某件事的人。我和来自 Debian, Codeberg, CalyxOS, Clean Insights, Weblate, 欧盟委员会, Tella, Replicant, LineageOS, OpenJDK, /e/ foundation, FSFE, EDRi, Guix, Reproducible Builds, Huridocs, WolfSSL, Internews SUSTAIN, OpenWISP, OnionShare, Mailvelope, Butter, Thunderbird, Eclipse 基金会等等的人进行了交流。特别令人印象深刻的一件事是 stands 项目。上台的每个人基本上都是核心贡献者。许多创始人和项目负责人甚至在台上回答了上台的人的问题（Mastodon、Calyx、NLnet、ISRG/Let’s Encrypt、Open...
