FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting) is a non-commercial, volunteer organized European event centered on free and open source software development. It is aimed at developers and anyone interested in the free and open source software movement. It aims to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. FOSDEM is held annually, usually during the first weekend of February, at the Université Libre de Bruxelles Solbosh campus, situated in the southeast of Brussels, Belgium and easily reachable by public transport from Brussels-Central railway station. ==History== FOSDEM was started in 2001 under the name OSDEM (Open Source Developers of Europe Meeting) by Raphael Bauduin. Bauduin has said that since he felt he lacked the brains to properly contribute to the open source community, he wanted to contribute by launching a European event in Brussels. Bauduin teamed up with Damien Sandras. It was an immediate success, with speakers coming from all over the world. This encouraged the team to repeat the event. The F (of FOSDEM) was added at the request of Richard Stallman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fosdem 2002: Fosdem organiser interview )〕 The event has been annually in February since then, with growing numbers of visitors, talks and tracks. It is now organized thanks to the help of many volunteers. At present, the meeting hosts about 4,000 visitors every year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FOSDEM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
