I wasn’t planning on FOSDEM, but it’s hard not to get FOMO from all the announcements.

@saptaks I may be changing my mind.

[superblox@mastodon.vlaanderen]

@mahryekuh What were the announcements?

[mahryekuh@fosstodon.org]

@superblox Nothing in particular, mostly people posting their intentions to attend.

@mahryekuh @superblox Just bought my train tickets! Last year we shared an Airbnb with 4-5 people

@thibaudcolas @superblox Did someone say accessibility team B&B?

@mahryekuh I am happy to enlighten you.

@mahryekuh for me it's primarily an opportunity to catch up with friends. We share a night train cabin from Berlin and big hotel room (for three nights). I don't spend too much time in the devrooms themselves, I catch up with the recordings afterwards.

@pintoch Thank you for your reply. It makes sense; people are (IMO) the best part of conferences.

@mahryekuh @pintoch I've not been there since Covid but from what I remember the devrooms are packed full, with lots of people waiting outside...

So it's easier to watch the replay anyway, but if you want to see a specific 15-min talk, better enter at the previous break and see the previous ones in the room too, and the next ones until the next break too

@saptaks I already sort of joked to @thibaudcolas about an accessibility team B&B, but ngl I am slowly developing the itch to go there.

[mahryekuh@fosstodon.org]

@Ash_Crow @pintoch Thanks! The packed rooms are what make me reluctant: I don’t like huge crowds, and this one feels like COVID central
