I can't say enough good things about #FOSDEM. It was my first time visiting #Brussels and I was so impressed by the city and its people

I learned so much from many amazing speakers, and came home with a huge to-do list. They even gave me the microphone for a bit 😅 I'll link to the video as soon as it's available

MY BIG TAKEAWAY
The world feels dark - esp. in the 🇺🇸 right now. But FOSDEM filled me with light, and hope for the #Fediverse and our future. There's a new energy here. Let's get to it.

Hi Everyone.
I'm #NewHere and am enjoying #Brussels despite the wet.
I'd love to have some suggestions of people to follow in #photography #EUPolicy and #foss
I will (probably) post photos mostly (whenever I remember to actually choose and edit the good ones) and the rest is yet to be discovered...

If anyone is still in #Brussels after the #FOSDEM: Don't miss the #Banksy museum and Banksy's + #Monet's collaborative work depicting @videolan's fight against #capitalism.

Found some nice street art in Brussels yesterday 🦊 As far as my French goes (still in my early days learning it), the text is: "I'm not a pest"

What a whirlwind 72 hours in #Brussels for #FOSDEM! Everyone I met has been working so so hard to build technology explicitly trying to break out of a broken system of corporate hegemony. There were so many different fields present here but I primarily focused on the #fediverse track.

Mandatory #FOSDEM post … so much to do, so much to hear, almost forgot. Thanks to all the people I already met yesterday – had a lot of good talks, even started some interesting discussions on the bus.

Any recomendations for a first timer for the time left?

Belgian waffles for @jwildeboer - don’t like fries 😊
