We are so excited about starting the new year with our contribution and participation at FOSDEM 2017.
FOSDEM is the strongest reference event for developers and geeks to meet and know the hottest incoming tech topics since 17 years ago.
In 2000, Raphael Bauduin, a Linux fan from Belgium, decided to organize a small event for Open Source developers. He named it ‘Open Source Developers European Meeting’ (OSDEM). From the second edition OSDEM became FOSDEM and every year host more than 5000 developers and Open Source geeks.
FOSDEM is our natural environment. We have joined it in a lots of editions and we are very proud to come again this year as speakers. We are also going to set up a stand for chatting with all our friends with special gifts for our community.
These will be our contributions to FOSDEM 2017:
Just a few hours before the welcome party, we will celebrate our GrimoireCon, with some clients, such as Red Hat, Linux Foundation and Mozilla telling their experience using GrimoireLab technology.
There will be two hours workshop where we will cover from the basic training for using Grimoire toolkit for tracking Open Source and Inner Source software development processes, to manage them through metrics and KPIs, to and an advance tutorial for software developers and managers to get full advantage of GrimoireLab open source technology.
Despite our usual meeting point in the cafeteria, there will be GrimoireLab table to meet our clients and friends. We would like to invite you to join our stand to meet us, have a little chat and give you some goodies. Find our stand in H building in ULB Solbosch Campus.

Jesús will drive this talk as part of Python devroom, on Sunday, 5th at room UD2.210
We are working hard to bring you at FOSDEM some news and products for building your own development community metrics. We will be waiting for you in our stand to discuss about Open Source, Inner Source, development, communities and new achievements.
Come and join us!
