Notes
Talks: data-related developer rooms only (FOSDEM has ~874 schedule entries this year). Included rooms: PostgreSQL; HPC, Big Data & Data Science; AI and Machine Learning. Plus main-track talk "Ingesting and analyzing millions of events per second in real-time using open source tools" (QuestDB). Devroom welcome sessions and speaker-less discussion slots omitted. Affiliations come from the FOSDEM speaker bio on the archived schedule (null when the bio is empty or names no employer; some bios carry over from earlier editions). 47 talks, 53 speaker rows, 37 with affiliation. Videos are video.fosdem.org recordings and slides are the attachments/links on each event page, taken from the schedule XML. The PostgreSQL devroom is listed here; the separate paid FOSDEM PGDay (Friday) is tracked as fosdem-pgday. No dedicated Databases/MySQL devroom ran in 2024.
