After attending FOSDEM in person last year, this time I watched from the comfort of my couch via the live streams. While I missed the energy of the hallway track and the Belgian waffles, the remote experience was surprisingly good.
About observability in the age of large language models (LLMs). The speaker, Christine Yen, talked about how LLMs are changing the way we think about observability and how they can be used to improve our understanding of complex systems. She also discussed some of the challenges that come with using LLMs for observability.
About the evolution of the Kubernetes user experience. The speaker, Andrew Randall, talked about how the Kubernetes user experience has changed over the years and what the future holds for it. He also discussed some of the challenges that come with designing a good user experience for Kubernetes.
About the use of Rust in the Linux kernel. The speaker, Greg Kroah-Hartman, talked about how Rust is being used to improve the performance and security of the kernel. He also discussed some of the challenges that come with using Rust in a large codebase like the Linux kernel.
The CloudNative Computing Foundation (CNCF) had a strong presence at the conference (of course), and they talked about the importance of open source software and how it is changing the way our industry works.
We are excited to announce that we will be attending Kubecon Europe 2025 in London! This is a great opportunity for us to connect with the Kubernetes community, learn about the latest developments in the ecosystem, and share our experiences with others. No talks yet to share but we are working on it.
Below you will find a list of the presentations I attended, with a link to the summary of the talk and the video(once they’re finished rendering them).
This weekend, the Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM) will be held in Brussels, Belgium. FOSDEM is an annual, volunteer-organized conference that brings together thousands of developers, enthusiasts, and advocates of free and open-source software from around the world. This two-day event, typically held in early February, offers a unique opportunity for attendees to participate in talks, workshops, and networking sessions covering a wide range of topics in the open-source ecosystem.
