Обсуждение: Report FOSDEM (Brussels) 2008
From 2008-02-23 to 2008-02-24 there was FOSDEM (http://www.fosdem.org) at Brussels. Looking back, the first time we have had a PostgreSQL booth at FOSDEM was 2007. This also was the first event where two different language based communities (French and German) made a booth together. Because 2007 was a great event, Daniel from BSD and me talked to the organisation and asked for a developer room. We got one for 2008. To make it short: FOSDEM 2008 wasn't great ... it was much more then great. I have never seen such a big PostgreSQL booth at an Open Source event and also not so many active PostgreSQL guys behind a booth and at an event (besides of course PGDay Italy). On Friday evening before the start of the FOSDEM we counted 15 active community guys. I would guess we were around 25 active guys during the whole event. Lots of visitors were at the booth. Most of our talks were so full, that there wasn't enough seats for all the people who wanted to hear the talk. You could see people standing at the walls and sitting on the floor. I want to say THANK YOU to all guys who attended the FOSDEM and helped making this event to such a great success. Also I want to say THANK YOU to Andreas who organised most of booth and talk scheduling stuff. And of course, THANK YOU Magnus for helping Andreas. Susanne

Not a bad idea, but please be careful about it. If you cannot identify every single person on the picture as someone who's a known member of the project, I'd stay away from it (assuming the persons are clearly visible - if you just get the back of someone or so it doesn't matter). We don't want to end up in a bad situation wrt someones privacy there. On a website we can just remove the picture if someone complains, it's a whole lot harder if it's on a CD. //Magnus
