FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. They also stream all talks online and have chat rooms.
Each year on the first weekend in February afficionados of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and open culture gather in Brussels to meet each other, talk about their projects, and spread a cocktail of pathogens known as the FOSDEM Flu.
FluConf is intended as an alternative, online venue for those in these communities who still care about public health.
