== What FOSDEM is ==
FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event for the community and organised by the community.  Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source developers and communities a place to meet to
 
* get in touch with other developers and projects,
* get informed about the latest developments in the Free and Open Source world,
* attend to interesting talks and presentations held in large conference rooms by Free and Open Source project leaders and commiters on various topics,
* and to promote the development and the benefits of Free and Open Source solutions.
 
As for being a free event, participation and attendance is totally free of charge (although we thankfully accept donations and sponsorship).  To help the community, FOSDEM sets up DevRooms (Developer Rooms) where teams can meet and showcase their projects.  It is also a place where a team can discuss, code (hacking sessions), publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news, and decisions.  The FOSDEM Team thinks it is very important that developers from around the world can meet 'in real life' and we believe projects can benefit from these meetings.  Common facilities such as network/internet connectivity and projectors are provided by us.
 
Last year there were more than 160 talks in the developer rooms, and then the main tracks, as well as the LPI exams, plus lightning talks and GPG/CAcert key signing.

- Research for another Open source project which could be intersting for visitor.
  Magento Commerce is a good candidate.

=== Accommodation ===
=== For Spouses or partners ===
Spouses/partners: enjoy a guided tour of Brussels while your favorite geek attends FOSDEM !


* see [[FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/Accomodation| Accommodation]] page
This year, FOSDEM hires professional guides to offer a guided tours of Brussels for the spouses or partners.  If he or she would like to accompany you, and is not interested in the FOSDEM conference, this will make the stay worthwhile.  Brussels is a city with a rich historical past, and a cosmopolitan present.


FYI, some Ambassadors have already registered at the [[http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/brubr-renaissance-brussels-hotel/ | Renaissance Brussels Hotel ]] in order to organise in front of FOSDEM meetings with the Board of Fedora EMEA e.V.  
The tours will take place both afternoons of the conference. The first one will give an introduction of the heart of Brussels, and the other one will cover different views of the city, and make sure you're back well on time.


=== Social Events ===
The guides are from the organization Brukselbinnenstebuiten.


* As every year, there will be a FOSDEM beer event on Friday night before FOSDEM (6 February 2009).

For Spouses or partners

Spouses/partners: enjoy a guided tour of Brussels while your favorite geek attends FOSDEM !

This year, FOSDEM hires professional guides to offer a guided tours of Brussels for the spouses or partners. If he or she would like to accompany you, and is not interested in the FOSDEM conference, this will make the stay worthwhile. Brussels is a city with a rich historical past, and a cosmopolitan present.

The tours will take place both afternoons of the conference. The first one will give an introduction of the heart of Brussels, and the other one will cover different views of the city, and make sure you're back well on time.

The guides are from the organization Brukselbinnenstebuiten.
