FOSDEM 2009 finished last week. Although I didn't attend
FODSEM, I got a feel for what was going through through blogs and photos on
Flikr.
FODSEM(Free and Open Source Software Developer’s European Meeting) is a largest
occasion for free/open source developers in Europe. It is relevant to various open source projects and it can be compared with
OSCON(O’Reilly Open Source Convention) held in the US.
The following projects had their own session:
KDE, GNOME, Mozilla, X.org, Fedora+
CentOS,
OpenSUSE, BSD+
PostgreSQL,
GNUStep, Jabber, Debian, Ada, Free Java,
OpenOffice,
Drupal, Ruby & Rails, MySQL, Linux Kernel
In addition, there were other projects sessions such as
OpenMoko,
Maemo,
CMake,
Webkit,
Xfce,
and OLPC.
In particular, there were
Mozilla related sessions as follows:
- Mozilla Europe
- Mozilla Foundation
