Now that FOSDEM is again going to held in-person event, MariaDB and MySQL will once again have a devroom.
FOSDEM 2023 will take place on Sat 4 – Sun 5 February 2023.
However, there are some changes in the organization. Each project will be responsible for its track, so we will divide the devroom into two sub-tracks.
For the convenience of the speakers and participants, we will not mix the two sub-tracks.
You will have the possibility to follow the track you are interested in, or of course both
The other big change is that the devroom is only half a day. This will make talk selection
very complicated as MariaDB and MySQL will only have 4 sessions each !
The MariaDB, MySQL & Friends devroom will be held for half a day, probably on Sunday afternoon.
The MariaDB track will also be holding a virtual event, which will take place outside of the physical devroom times. This will be similar to last year, where a video presentation will have to be prepared well in advance of the physical event.
