00:07
One-third, I think. We will shortly introduce FOSM. The video that you've just seen was some impressions of speakers of how they perceive FOSM and everything.
00:22
If we do a query on the domain, which is, of course, what matters. So, FOSM stands for the Free and Open Source Software European Developers meeting. And this year, we will have more than 300 talks by more than 280 speakers, which
00:41
is an amazing and a new record. Now, what makes FOSM special? Well, there are many things, but one of the things is that it's entirely organized by volunteers. So, all the people you see running around in yellow t-shirts, they've been working at it for months, weeks, and
01:01
nobody is paid to do this. All for free software, free software, of course. Now, FOSM was created ten years ago. So, the first edition was three and four February in 2010. Today, we're in 2010. Let me quickly check who was here. Also, during the first edition.
01:22
Can you raise your hand? One, two, three. Alright. Now, let's go back to that first year. Thanks to modern technology, we can easily go back.
01:42
And so, the archive has a copy of February 5. So, let's check it out. This beautiful web page, especially notice the logo. In this high edition of a
02:00
beastie, penguin, new animal. So, this started and we were called OSM those days. And let me point to a nice little detail here on this page. So, apparently, the first edition by singing
02:20
the free software song altogether. Okay. Okay. Let's go. So, in 2002, thank you, this is how our website looked like. I think it's very 2002, especially notice
02:40
the beautiful better. It could have been posted on what was it? Well, it's beautiful anyway. Okay. So, 2003, we changed to more modern. This is what it looked like in 2004. We didn't
03:01
have a lot of inspiration. Kind of stick to it. Or maybe if I use a failover.
03:26
So, in 2004, same website again. Then 2005, some and then actually, well, it's hard to read, but the web
03:40
server crashed and we lost our data. Great. So, we thought it was a good start for a new website and so in 2007, new website, new data and then it changed again in 2008 and well, that's the same theme that we're still using. So, 2009, and this year,
04:02
it's 2010. This is where we're at. Now, what if we never changed our name? What if we would be called Ozdom today? Well, luckily, the Wayback Machine also allows you to visit parallel universes and everything.
04:21
And so, if we would be called Ozdom, right. Okay. Is she maybe sitting here somewhere
04:40
or no? No. Okay. Well, that was a kind of interesting history of Ozdom the website, but there are also probably the things you came for, tracks and talks. As you probably know for
05:01
two-thirds of everyone, we have different types of lectures. First of all, six main tracks. These main tracks are held in the two biggest rooms, this one and one on the other side. These are the six main track lectures, and there are also three keynotes, two keynotes this
05:21
morning, and one keynote on Sunday evening about kernel hacking and kernel drivers, etc. We also have more than 20 developer rooms. Those are really, really technical lectures, most of them. At least 30 plus lightning talks.
05:40
That's 15 minutes timed with timer. So, if the speaker tries to go one second longer, the microphone shuts down and the timer just buzz. So, it's a little... If you give a lightning talk, be aware of that, and we don't want to shame you in front of everyone.
06:02
While working around in the H building, this building, in the AW, the other building outside, there are also many stands. Be there, walk there, talk with people. That's why you are here and not following the conference using video streaming or something.
06:23
This map is also in the information brochure you can get at the infodesk. The infodesk should be here in this building. We are currently in the Johnson. Something interesting to know is that on Sunday afternoon, we will have
06:40
two Fuzzdom buses driving you from this place where there is tram ridden to the Brussels South train station. Approximately, every 25 minutes, a bus of 150 people can drive to this train station. It drives up till
07:01
8 o'clock, I think, so don't hesitate to stay a little longer if you can and enjoy the talks. Let's take our way back machine again and look at this lecture in 2001. Who can recognize the room? Yeah, one.
07:21
You were there? You were really following that lecture? So you know the speaker? Richard Stallman, indeed. You probably also recognize his halo? It's not a disc. It's a halo, but it was a disc in a previous life, of course. Everyone knows that.
07:42
Richard was one of the very well-known speakers who was at our first Fuzzdom conference, and we really thank him for that. And, well, the room still hasn't changed, of course. That's the ULB. But we also thank the ULB because we can get almost all the rooms for almost nothing.
08:00
So without them, we couldn't organize this conference for free. yeah. So this is again yet a picture of this auditorium almost full. Of course, more people are coming to see Richard than myself.
08:22
But here he stands in front of the crowd trying to convert the already converted. Okay, we have more than talks, people. There's also more activities
08:41
where you can, well, participate in actively and stuff. There's like key signing. Well, you'd have to be registered on the beforehand, but if you see a long queue of people standing in front
09:01
of each other reading blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's probably the key signing party, so you know where to go. Buff room. You can find a list in the AW building. It's marked in the brochure
09:21
also where exactly on one door of one room where you can schedule a Birds of a Feather meeting for 15 minutes or 30 minutes, maximum 45 minutes each for a project or for a meeting for whatever with a group of people that you want to have a meeting with.
09:43
There's hacker rooms. There's two. There's one in the main corridor over here, in the middle of the main corridor up the stairs where you came from probably, and one in the AW building. There are certifications, exams for LPI,
10:02
BSD, Type 03, quite a few other things than just booths, death rooms, talks to listen to. This is a beautiful picture
10:21
of the key signing last year, I think. It will be on Sunday in case you registered, and this is what it tends to look like, a long queue of a lot of people. There is a room scheduled for the key signing.
10:41
I know that there will be more than 130 people, I think, so the plan is to fit them inside if possible. If it's too difficult, then a failback of outside will be done again. But the good thing, though, this year, it's not as cold as last year.
11:03
Who has a network device right here? Probably almost everyone with those smartphones. You know from the history that in the past, well, we didn't like to talk about the network subject, so it's nice weather outside.
11:22
Fortunately, in 2008, there was a change. We bought some WRT devices, some 3Com access points, and had a quite stable network, but the whole network was segmented in different micro nets. Last year, Cisco proposed to help. Around Sunday, the network
11:40
was stable because it's still quite a serious job, and around the top moment, we had 700 simultaneous users, which is also quite a lot. But this year, we thought, well, we can do better, of course. Better means 800 meters of fiber, 1 gigabit internet uplink
12:00
inside around almost 2 kilometers of carbon. We have 18,000 public IPv4 addresses, so every device that is on the network gets a public IPv4. Be careful if you have an iPhone that is not patched. But that's your own fault then.
12:20
And 18,000 plus IPv4. Did someone say there is a shortage? I read last, not two weeks ago, there is only 10% left. I think we have 1% of that 10% for the conference, but we also have IPv6. You will notice on the splash page that FOSDEM logo on the, I'm
12:42
not sure about URL, but the FOSDEM wireless splash page does the logo blinking if you are using IPv6. I didn't count the number of IPv6 addresses, but we surely have enough. The SSID is of course FOSDEM and right now and even one or two hours ago
13:01
the network was stable and working. There are also some nice statistics you can see online about the usage of the network. So that's really a good point though. But yesterday we weren't very happy honestly. We laid those 800 meters of fiber and while testing it, it didn't work of course.
13:21
What else? You are organizing a conference with an internet uplink of 1 gigabit and don't have a backup. Well, your backup is 10 megabits half duplex. Is that an option for 3,600 people? No, not really. So out of six strains we had one strain working. Those who know how
13:42
fiber works know that you need two strains. So fortunately again those ULB ICT staff were there and they helped us resplice the cable yesterday evening. So that finally worked. You might also have noticed we had quite a panic moment when yesterday we realized we had only 5
14:01
GHz antennas. But fortunately the Cisco guys went back to their office at 1 AM and found a box of 100 2.4 GHz antennas. So everything is really fine. We are starting to panic because everything is fine. There must be something that isn't
14:21
working. So what's the most important thing for a hacker's brain to function? I ask you. It's food
14:40
of course. Food. Which is why we start every FOSDEM event with taking care of the food in fluid form of course. So we started out very small.
15:02
We were a few more the next year. A bit more the next year. Enough about this beer event. Let's talk about actual food.
15:31
We also have it in other forms. Not so fluid. There's two bars.
15:40
There's one in addition to last year's one bar underneath the auditorium over here. There is one up here. There's burgers and fries in the main street you walked into presumably
16:01
over here. We've also doubled the capacity of those. So you shouldn't have to starve. Your brain should be okay. You should be able to function I think. Right. Money. Money. We need shit loads of
16:21
money. I said before the conference wouldn't be organiseable for free because there are a lot of costs. Not only security people, security staff, hardware insurance, transportation of speakers, hotels of speakers, etc. So we usually thank our sponsors. Thank you.
16:42
A good thing though, sponsors don't have anything to say about the program. We refuse sponsorship if they tend to say we want to give a lecture. Eventually we'll notice that some sponsors are giving lectures. But usually it's more, hi would you like to give a lecture at FOSDEM? Yeah sure
17:01
nice. Hey, do you want us to sponsor you? How much money do you have? That's the way how it goes. Of course the usual sponsors come back at us and ask us same deal as last year we say yeah thank you. Okay. Done. So
17:21
yet again thanks to all the sponsors. But without the sponsors we still don't have enough money. So we still for more than 30% need the donations to thank you for all the donations we give things in return. Here's a simple table.
17:41
There are some drawers and the more money you give the more chance you get to win things. donations draw, the presents will be given on Sunday during the closing talk. Well the donation talk. That is scheduled just before the
18:02
just before the last lecture about kernel drivers. Okay. On to the last point. The mythical Fosdam dance. Who has seen the Fosdam dance before? Yeah?
18:20
Yeah? That's okay. And is there somebody who knows the history of the Fosdam dance? Nobody? Maybe too shy? Okay. Let's take a look at the beginning of the Fosdam dance which was in 2006. So we have two of the original
18:41
organizers here on the picture. Rafael and Damien. And so it all started out with them when back in the days when an opening talk was done without slides or anything like that and you just went on stage and told a story and so the story that they were telling was that
19:00
Damien was running late for something of course. I mean there's plenty of things to run late for here at Fosdam and he was explaining why he was late and he said yeah I was doing things and over there and stuff and then I had to run and I had to run and I had to run and well that's basically
19:21
how the Fosdam dance originated. So this was in 2001 now because this dance was so beautiful in 2007 we did it again in a bit larger numbers 2008 again even larger numbers and then last year
19:42
in 2009 now this year it's 2010 so the question is what will we do this year? Should we do the Fosdam dance again? Yeah?
20:02
Okay. Yeah? But of course it is our 10th anniversary, right? So we should celebrate actually that it's our 10th anniversary, right? No that's for the French speaking that's not an option. No. What we had in mind is that we would just
20:22
do the Fosdam dance all together or we could of course also sing the free software song. No? So I propose that we will all do it here together maybe first we will give a little demonstration a proper demonstration as a warm up so that you can fully
20:41
acquire how it looks like what the moves are and everything and then we are going to ask everybody to come here on the stage all together so that we can celebrate our 10th anniversary by doing the Fosdam dance together. Okay? But first a little demonstration. Do know that we will probably enter the Guinness Book of Records
21:02
of a conference with the most dancing people. Right. This is serious. No humor please. So maybe some more of the stuff for the demonstration? Maybe I can play the air hostess that is in the airplane explaining how to put the safety jacket on etc. So just put yourself
21:22
open your two legs approximately at a similar distance take your two arms next to you lift your right leg and then do like you are walking or running. That's it so it's not really difficult honestly so now just close
21:41
that laptop for who has a laptop open and come over here just to be clear there is no way to walk outside of this room without coming here all the doors should be closing right now okay come on come on
22:01
come on people so we are going to take pictures so don't worry there is no excuses just come on the stage come in front please for the 10th edition let's dance come on guys you guys are already sitting in the right position
22:25
those who are sitting behind we do not forget you I just confirmation that the doors are closed so please stand up
22:47
you won't be able to properly say that you were at FOSDEM 2010 unless you were at that stage doing the FOSDEM dance with everybody so get up and join us come on join us
23:12
it's normal that the stage is too small some of the rooms are too so just get a little bit closer we can all fit
23:21
is this is this not a conference where people like to talk and meet each other this is a way to meet each other while dancing there is still room in here people don't be shy really the camera is still running by the way
23:41
so this will be all on video.fosdem.org and on the common video sites like YouTube come on guys don't be shy don't be shy
24:06
ok that seems quite a number of people we do understand that some geeks are rather shy even in such a crowd nobody will recognize you alright some more people
24:21
deciding are some people still interested? come join us ok
24:43
so Tios I think we are just packing up keep a safe distance you don't want to kill the geek behind you ok so now just spread your legs not too far away of course equal distance
25:01
put your arms at your sides lift the right leg up I see many people with their hands in their pockets it doesn't work that way on the side please you have to use your arms lift the right leg up that right leg up I should see only one foot everywhere
25:20
ok and run thank you huge applause for this crowd thank you and enjoy the conference thank you everybody
25:51
FOSDEM has officially started there is a first lecture coming up in a few minutes it's about open source
26:00
