Donate to FOSDEM
FOSDEM is an event organized for the community by the community. As such, we think it is important to keep access to the event free.
The event is organized by volunteers who don't get paid and don't have commercial interests in the event. As one might imagine, however, the organization costs a lot of money and other resources.
The main characteristic of FOSDEM is that it is a non-commercial event. To keep it that way, we think the best way to fund the event is to ask for support from the open source community on a voluntary basis.
