I was there 6 times and got sick 6 times after. The mask is a good idea. The weather was shitty every single time i was there.

There are some good talks, but i find it to be overcrowded and if you dont get a seat in the morning in a devroom and stay there the whole day then you spend your day wandering from one at-capacity devroom to the next.

I used to go sometimes when there were a number of adjacent conferences. I wouldn't fly over from the US for just FOSDEM. Yeah, it's sort of a crappy time of year in general for that area of Europe.

And, yeah, I latterly settled on a camp out in devroom strategy. It was much more pleasant than trying to move from full room to full room.
