01/02/2026 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.
For those interested, we invite you to submit your proposals for talks by 1st December 2025 at noon CET at the latest. Kindly note that this deadline reflects the FOSDEM organisers’ timeline, so we will be unable to accept any submissions after it. We plan to publish the complete schedule for our developer room by 15 December (or earlier).
