To me this FOSDEM (my first one) was nice, but nowhere near the level of spectacle I'm used to from Chaos Events (I didn't expect it, but maybe a bit more would've been nice). It felt a bit dull - mostly people wandering around in narrow hallways, with talks hidden away in small rooms. There weren't many fun gizmos or nice places to make the experience ... comfortable. Every once in a while someone would play on the piano, which was nice.

Of course the people were great. Lots of nice conversations to be had. This is why I'll probably return for the next one.

A lot of the fun I had happened during Byte Night, where, during a break from partying, I stumbled upon a buch of people doing a Typescript CTF, which evolved into quite a few nice conversations.

I was pretty tired on day 2.
