Newline Schedule
[Quasi Kili] **MicroPythonOS** is the first modern graphical operating system designed to provide a complete, out-of-the-box experience for resource-constrained hardware such as microcontrollers like ESP32. Fully open source, MicroPythonOS is rapidly expanding its ecosystem of apps and supported devices.
[Pietervdvn, Luna] From the classic elongated camera at the entrance to the store, to the ANPR camera along the highway; from the bulb camera in the station to the doorbell camera near your neighbors: in all their shapes and sizes, surveillance cameras are ubiquitous in our area. And there are more and more.
[Kristoff] For most people, a satellite is "a thing that flies up there" and concider space as something you can only do if you work for a big organisation or a university. This talk will discuss two projects everybody can participate in, that involve receiving radiosignals from satellites: satdump and TinyGS.
[Pixeels] Connecting Metal What Could Possibly Go Wrong? (Spoiler: nothing, you’re in good hands.) Get hands-on with welding and turn loose pieces into something solid.
[wordloc] Every project, instance, and collective needs a domain name. That domain sits under a TLD — and most TLDs are owned by for-profit companies with no stake in our communities.
[Mitch] **Turning off TVs and monitors in public places is fun!** Learn to solder by making a kit that turns off these annoyances from 50 meters away. **For total beginners.** Enjoy life, and turn off a TV or two today!
[Merlijn] What if someone can read the RAM of your servers? What if your hypervisor is compromised?
[Miker] Informal gathering of people interested in Meshcore
[hhat] Humans have used technology to augment themselves for generations. One of the more recent iterations of this has been the "second brain", a digital system which helps us collect, store and find information we come across.
[Johan Lorré] I binge-watched more than a hundred FOSDEM 2026 talks (so you don't have to ;-). Many were brilliant.
[Pietervdvn] Are you interested in maps? Are you searching for a FLOSS mapping navigation?
[Miker] Informal gathering of people interested in Home Assistant
Random visitors give short 15 mins talks on various interesting topics
[Mateo Van Damme] The City of Ghent publishes its full 3D model, every building, every rooftop, every patch of terrain as open data. I built three things on top of it: a free-flight viewer of the whole city, a swarm of autonomous drones flocking above it, and a browser tool that crops any region into a 3D-printable slab.
[PoroCYon] Reverse-engineering a PCB traditionally requires an enormous amount of time, destructive techniques, or a combination of both. Recently, I managed to borrow a device I would really like to reverse, but it is rare enough that neither of the 'traditional' options were feasible.
[Steffest] Introducing Amibase, a radical pure client-side web workbench that brings together peer-2-peer mesh communication, file recognition, and rich view/edit functionality without relying on any servers, APIs, or backend infrastructure. It’s also a (slightly naive) crusade against the centralizing pull of Big Tech.
[Pixeels] Connecting Metal What Could Possibly Go Wrong? (Spoiler: nothing, you’re in good hands.) Get hands-on with welding and turn loose pieces into something solid.
[HansF] You've been copy-pasting into ChatGPT like a peasant. Meanwhile, Claude has been writing my policy documents, analyzing my Jira boards, roasting my colleagues' architecture proposals, planning my events, generating my presentations, building full apps inside the chat window, and — yes — drafting this very talk proposal.
[Mitch] Making **slime** _is really important_. It is also _really fun_.
[bdesmet] I run my home on one box: KVM + Podman, Home Assistant, Postgres, and step CA issuing certs to the heating. It mostly works.
