It's a new year, which means new opportunities to connect and fresh events to attend. As blank calendars gradually fill in, one weekend that is sure to be blocked off is FOSDEM's. A beloved conference by many in the open source community, FOSDEM gathers thousands every year at the ULB Solbosch Campus in Brussels to share ideas and collaborate on anything and everything pertaining to open source.
Developers of all levels are invited to join this free event on January 31 and February 1. As part of a packed Open Source weekend, Collabora will be contributing 7 talks! Our speakers are excited to share their latest work on video capture on Rockchip SoCs, Tyr, machine learning in GStreamer, and more!
If you aren't able to make it in person, there will be a live stream of each talk, and we will share the links to each on our socials throughout the weekend.
