Fwd: [apereo-projects] A FOSDEM DevRoom for you!

[Wilma Hodges]

Hello Sakaigers!

Are you planning on attending the FOSDEM conference in Brussels (Jan. 31 & Feb. 1, 2026)? Apereo will be presenting, and they have encouraged project members, particularly those based in Europe, to consider attending and/or submitting a proposal. The CFP closes Dec. 1st, so there is still time to submit.

Patrick has also suggested a few tracks (aka "DevRooms") that might be of interest to Sakai folks: 

Browser and web platform, Collaboration and content management, Educational, Social Web

See the forwarded message below for additional info.

Best,

Wilma

Hi All,

As you may know, the folks at FOSDEM reached out to invite Apereo projects to submit proposals for next year's conference in Brussels (Jan. 31 & Feb. 1, 2026). The Foundation has submitted a track, introducing Apereo and our work as a fiscal sponsor and advocate for open source in higher ed. Looking over the tracks (i.e., "devrooms") there are several that align with your work, projects, and comm communities. Even if your project is primarily run outside Europe, please consider reaching out to your European communities/members/users as there may be a regional contacts who can attend to help raise awareness and engagement of your project.

The CFP closes Dec. 1, 2025.

Here are some relevant tracts (devrooms).
