#fosdem25 — Public Fediverse posts

Exactly 1 year ago, I ordered an FLX1 from @furilabs after seeing it at #FOSDEM25 . I was on the look-out for something as my phone had just died 2 days earlier.
My expectations were low, having only ever tried using a Pinephone (not pro)
Once i got the FLX1 in my hands, I was blown away by how well it worked.

Camera, GPS, Phone calls, Mobile data* all worked flawlessly out of the box. I can run android apps like signal or my banking app. And the Linux app ecosystem has almost anything I would need on FlatHub.
Battery life is decent even when running android apps, and I feel like I can rely on the device working when I need it.

(*) I am having some odd bugs with mobile data on my carrier, but one of the devs is helping me resolve it. ( thanks @fakeshell )

At first, there were obviously some rough edges.
E.G. I was unable to use the phone with a SIM I bought for a trip to Japan, I didn't know that i could use my banking app, or general instability.
Today however, many rough edges have been dealt with, and I have adapted to the device. The FLX1 is in my pocket right now and my only device 90% of the time.

The team behind the device have been extremely dedicated and helpful. I am very grateful for all the work they put into this awesome device.

If anyone is looking for a cool (non-SailfishOS) Linux phone that *works as a daily driver* I would definitely point them towards FuriLabs.
(Just expect there to be some issues, that's inevitable)
I don't have much experience with the current FLX1s, but that hardly matters as it's mainly about the software and experience.

Looking forward one more year! 🥂

Full disclosure: I will receive the dock for this phone in exchange for writing this post. In no way did FuriLabs influence what i said and I was planning on doing so anyway.

Very much looking forward to our upcoming first live recording of the #SoftwareFreedom #podcast together with @llas at 14:00 CET (Europe/Brussels), UA4.218

Lucas will share his insights about "can the #DMA help to protect #FreeSoftware developers working with #AOSP?"

I hope next year's FOSDEM they can accommodate for a quantum devroom again. This year (2026) it didn't happen, but 2025 it did and was amazing!

Just did my presentation on #imquic, my attempt at working on a QUIC library for real-time media, so #roq (RTP Over QUIC) and #moq, in #openmedia. Seemed well received, so I'm happy! You can find the slides at the link below, where a recording will also pop up soon in case you missed it

Found one thing to update in my "How to survive FOSDEM" post.

The map was stil from 2019. And while buildings does not move, there is no bar in Janson anymore but map was still showing it.

When looking for things written about me and OpenPrinting I stumbled upon this one:

I got interviewed on this year's FOSDEM back in February, by Luca Berton. It is about what we are doing at OpenPrinting.

@andypiper brought some nice stickers to #FOSDEM25 and one oft them found the way to #DevConf CZ

If you are interested, drop by St the Booth oft the @fsfe and talk with us about the #fediverse

Ashamed to say I'd never heard of the phrase "social and solidarity economy" before today

"Solidarity economy or social and solidarity economy (SSE) refers to a wide range of economic activities that aim to prioritize social profitability instead of purely financial profits"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_economy

Found in the following FOSDEM25 talk
"A Business Intelligence architecture for Social and Solidarity Economy."

[#fosdem25] Recuperato questo intervento di @ed che sintetizza la definizione attuale di #OpenSourceAI e come ci si è arrivati:
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6724-an-introduction-to-the-open-source-ai-definition/

L'ho trovato chiaro e diretto: certo, la definizione è perfettibile, ma almeno ci ricorda quello che si dovrebbe fare con tutto quello che oggi si chiama #Open e non lo è. #openwashing è sempre dietro l'angolo, cambiano i temi, ma rimane sempre un problema.
Lo vedevo nel mondo #OpenSource, in quello #OpenData poi, e ora in questo: la lotta continua.

A corredo, il thread nella mailing list del Centro Nexa #nexacenter che aggiunge altri spunti di riflessione https://server-nexa.polito.it/pipermail/nexa/2024-November/053540.html

I admit it's been *a while* but the @hut23 team finally got around to publishing our suggestions for #FOSDEM25 presentations we especially enjoyed.

All of these were recorded and are well worth the time to watch.

There were so many great talks at #FOSDEM and so many we inevitably missed. Please share your own suggestions if you have them.

As I told earlier here in a longer thread with @zygoon , Yuning Liang, founder of DeepComputing has donated their RISC-V board for Framework laptops to OpenPrinting on the last FOSDEM. Thanks a lot!!

Now we can test the printing stack on this platform, including making Snaps for RISC-V.

Printing works so far, by the way.

And here are my adventures of setting it up:

#FOSDEM25 3/4 Education track, FOSDEM Junior track, and unexpected Hallway track

Thanks to Peter Mathijssen and Bart Mathijssen from Coderdojo Tilburg, this is the second year that FOSDEM has had a Junior track, where families could come and experience lots of different coding and making activities. Peter had gathered lots of volunteers and timetabled hands-on sessions in two rooms. And in a third room on the corridor there was an Education…
