Every year, FOSDEM hosts a wide variety of activities. This page gives an overview with links to further information about scheduled events. All times CET (UTC+1).
FOSDEM is a rather busy conference. This edition features 684 speakers, 774 events, and 114 tracks. We do our best to provide you with as much information and navigation options about the schedule as we can.
Activities take place in 108 rooms. An overview of the room occupation by track is available, too.
There are essentially the following categories of sessions and activities: main tracks, developer rooms, lightning talks, stands and certification exams.
For a complete (but crowded) overview, there is also a
page that lists all events.
A list of all speakers is available, too.
During the event, the live streaming page is also updated every few minutes to show you what is currently scheduled in each room.

Developer rooms
The vast majority of events (talks, hacking sessions, open discussions) are
held in so-called developer rooms
(devrooms
), which are
organized and managed by open source projects themselves, or even
associations between several such projects on a common topic in order to
foster collaboration.

Lightning talks
The lightning talk is a very popular format, used at many conferences, where speakers have a mere 15 minutes at their disposal to showcase an open source project, an idea, or a concept thereof.
While that brief lapse of time may seem awkward, it almost always leads the presenters to concentrate on the absolute essence and what is really important, which is why it is often a much appreciated approach, as is the wide variety of the topics.
There are currently 21 lightning talks in the schedule.
