February 1 All day
As part of FOSDEM 2026, which will take place on the 31 January & 1 February 2026, we will be organising a devroom on Open Source & EU Policy. The devroom will take place on Sunday 1st February 2026 and it will cover the full day. The devroom is organised by APELL, Eclipse Foundation, Linux Foundation, Mozilla, OFE, OpenSSF, and the Open Source Initiative.
The devroom will continue the tradition started at FOSDEM 2024, bringing together developers and EU lawmakers from the European institutions to discuss the impact of past, ongoing, and upcoming EU laws affecting the Open Source community. The day will feature interventions from lawmakers from the European Commission and Parliament, as well as from the community, and will include presentations, workshops, short talks and Q&As.
Power to the Public Stack: Governing Europe’s Digital Commons
How can we support long-term sustainability for open source public infrastructure?
What capacity barriers still stand in the way of OS adoption?
What governance models can enable meaningful participation from stakeholders?
With this session, we hope to help steer the EU’s ambitions for digital sovereignty toward models that genuinely empower the open source community and reinforce the sustainability of Digital Commons.
