FOSDEM 2026 Sailfish OS meetup and BoF

Hi there!

Some people have been asking about Sailfish OS meetup during FOSDEM 2026. Yes, there is a meetup. During the FOSDEM you’ll find sailors from the “Linux on Mobile” stand as in the past years.

We’ll update further on this post. Venue booked, please note no registration required for the events just show up:

Regarding BoF, our proposal has been accepted in the track BOF/Unconference at FOSDEM 2026 - Sailfish OS Community BoF :rocket:

Happy new year everybody!

Just got tickets. Please do update :wink:

(transportation tickets. There are no Fosdem tickets, are they?)

I just need to be careful and not “stay out long” on Friday, if the meetup is on Saturday.

Nope, no tickets needed, just show up and embrace the inspired chaos that is FOSDEM :slight_smile:

@rainemak if you’re also planning on having a BOF session during FOSDEM at ULB, the unconference rooms are now open for reservation by submitting a proposal.

We actually did submit a BOF proposal on Monday. Let’s see how it goes.

Are the BoF rooms livestreamed, or can we livestream this one? Even better some way for non in person to meet up would be great

Thanks to the magic sleeve of @rubdos we’ve managed to book the upstairs room at:

À La Becasse
Rue de Tabora 11
B-1000 Brussels

Starting from 19h30/7:30pm on Saturday 31st January. This is a community meetup and no registration required, just show up. For those those who wish to have a bite that’s an option. Their beer looks to be very, very good. There’s also the excellent Friterie Tabora just over the road. Please join us!

Some notes on À la Bécasse!

It’s very well hidden (I had to wander around myself this morning). It’s squeezed in between a touristic waffle place and a “legal weed” shop.

This place is definitely a “hidden gem” in the very centre of the city. Their beer selection is great, and it’s the kind of place where the students go after class for drinks. It’s going to be great!


@abranson, do we have to pre-register? I’ll forward the “thanks” either way!

Thanks for taking that photo. I remember it was well hidden. I don’t think we need to pre-register, but if someone wants to declare their attendance then that’ll only add to the excitement. I’ll know in a couple of days whether we need to give numbers and/or choices for food or not, in which case I’ll put something up here.

Will join the evening meetup on Saturday, thanks for organizing. The BoF is unfortunately a bit too late as I need to rush home. A live stream would be very much appreciated! :slight_smile:

Great! Will also join for the dinner with whatever vegan option there are on the menu.

Not sure that I follow your reasoning there. What a way to response to someone who just wants to say I will be there again this year, looking forward to seeing all good people again.

Great news that there’ll be a BoF and a dinner! I definitely plan to join for the dinner and will join the BoF if I can get away from the stand for it!

Thanks for arranging this! I should be there for the dinner, coming from another meetup, so could be slightly delayed. But will make it there before 20:00.

I see some veggie options on the menu: macaroni and salad. There’s a veggie pizza, but it’s got cheese on. There is also head cheese which is probably the least vegan thing in the world except for blood sausage which they also have.

I would also join, if there are still spots available :slight_smile:
