This year, for the first time in like forever, MySQL, MariaDB and Friends, will not have a dedicated Devroom at FOSDEM. (snif) Luckily that did not prevent the MySQL team to still host the Belgian MySQL Days (formerly known as the pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days). And thus we still have the opportunity to bring the community together to socialize and exchange idea’s over a Belgian beer or a glass of wine.
We continue the by now well known tradition of dining together in style with members from all over the community, and invite you to the ICAB venue (the same location as where the Belgian MySQL days are being held).
The listed ticket price includes a selection of Belgian Speciality Beers and food, which will be typical Belgian style.
If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free,…) please let us know ahead of time when buying the ticket as we need to inform the caterer who wil make the necessary accommodations for you.
FOSDEM 2023 will take place on Sat 4 – Sun 5 February 2023.
However, there are some changes in the organization. Each project will be responsible for its track, so we will divide the devroom into two sub-tracks.
For the convenience of the speakers and participants, we will not mix the two sub-tracks.
You will have the possibility to follow the track you are interested in, or of course both
The other big change is that the devroom is only half a day. This will make talk selection very complicated as MariaDB and MySQL will only have 4 sessions each !
The MariaDB, MySQL & Friends devroom will be held for half a day, probably on Sunday afternoon.
The MariaDB track will also be holding a virtual event, which will take place outside of the physical devroom times. This will be similar to last year, where a video presentation will have to be prepared well in advance of the physical event.
If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please contact us and we will do our best to assist you.
