I sent an impassioned protest to the fosdem folks, but I'm pretty sure it's too late to make any changes this year. If there's a committer's workshop I will go anyway, but without that, it's tough to make a business case.

Every now and then it hits me how invisible the advantages of being part of the EU can be. For instance despite bringing billions of phones to Brussels for FOSDEM for multiple years at this point, I only realised today that this only is possible thanks to freedom of movement for goods and people […]

Did I miss something or is there no observability-related dev room at fosdem? (If you don't count the ebpf room)

Looks like there will be no Free Java room at FOSDEM this year (first time in almost 20 years!) so it seems my late January to early February travel schedule has opened up. Anyone have an event they'd like to see me at, talking JVM features and internals or Ruby optimization?
