I'd love to go to @fosdem 2026, but Brussels is just too far from Seoul… and the plane tickets are so expensive. 😭

Update: I just submitted a talk proposal to the Social Web Devroom at @fosdem 2026—Fedify: Type-safe ActivityPub for TypeScript. Guess I'm flying to Brussels after all. 😅

@hongminhee@hollo.social that's wonderful! Have a fantastic time!
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it but please say hello to @liaizon@social.wake.st for me 😝
@julian @hongminhee oh sad to hear your not gonna make it this year!
@hongminhee @fosdem oh wow! I will most definitely be there! If you are coming all this way I would love to organize something in Berlin for you! It's pretty cheap from Brussels and there are a lot of fediverse developers that live there!
@liaizon That sounds great! I'd love to visit Berlin if my schedule allows. Still figuring out flights and dates, but I'll let you know once things are more concrete.
@hongminhee @fosdem What would the budget be? Maybe we could organize a crowdfunding campaign for you? I would totally chip in
@elena Wow, that's incredibly kind of you to offer! 😭 I'm really touched. To be honest, there's no direct flight from Seoul to Brussels—it's 15+ hours with layovers, which is as daunting as the cost. But your kindness really warms my heart. Maybe one day when I can handle the long journey better!
@hongminhee @elena there is a direct flight Seoul - Amsterdam. From there it is just a 2h direct express train!
@hongminhee but of course! you have always been so generous with the community, it's about time we give back ❤️
Sorry the journey is such an odyssey and I completely understand... it was the same for me with FediCon in Vancouver - sadly too far away 🥲
@elena Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 And yes, I totally feel you about FediCon Vancouver—these distances are just brutal sometimes. Maybe one day we'll get more regional events, or teleportation technology. 😂

Everything in #Fosdem has always been archived on #matrix,https://fosdem.org/2026/archives/. So, why not organise a live talk with the Fediverse's room at #fosdem26 ? And why not organise previously prepared communications available online for those who want it ?
