       | looking forward to this online one. I will miss the Belgium beers

       | There is supposed to be a Matrix chatroom for each room with a
       | video widget.

       | answer your questions in a bit.

       | A huge thank you to all the volunteers for making this happen,
       | and to the Matrix folks for their support. I went to my first
       | FOSDEM 15 years ago and would have been very sad if it hadn't
       | happened in some form in 2021. It won't be the same without
       | having to squeeze through packed corridors, randomly bumping into
       | old friends from the past and meeting up for evening beers and
       | food at the excellent Belgian pubs. Still, I'm looking forward to
       | some great talks.
       | 
       | Question for the organizers: with everything being online this
       | year, should we expect the recordings to be put up promptly or
       | should we attend the talks at their scheduled times if we don't
       | want to wait too long to see them?

         | Thanks a lot for this link, I didn't know n-gate and the hacker
         | news part is hilarious!

       | strange.

       | FYI, to accommodate more people from the US a number of devrooms
       | (tracks, in the parlance of other conferences) are running more
       | in the afternoons than the morning.
