Matthias Kirschner<p>It's never too early to start thinking about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a>! <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/@bkuhn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bkuhn</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@karen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>karen</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.io/@lexelas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>lexelas</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@richardfontana" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>richardfontana</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.io/@tmarble" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>tmarble</span></a></span> and I would like to submit a proposal for the "<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Legal</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Policy</span></a> Devroom" to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fosdem</span></a></span> as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:</p><p>* What did you especially like in 2025 <a href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track</span><span class="invisible">/legal-and-policy/</span></a> ?</p><p>* What would you like to see improved?</p><p>* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?</p>
Lorenzo Miniero<p>I haven't given up on the idea yet of trying to propose a music-related <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/devroom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>devroom</span></a> at the next <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fosdem</span></a> in 2026. I'm wondering what name could be used, though? Just "Music production" may be limiting, as that would cover, e.g., projects like Ardour or DrumGizmo, but not the likes of Faircamp, which helps musicians self-host their work. Finding the right scope (and abstract) for such a devroom might be challenging, but not impossible IMO. Any feedback/idea?</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Musicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musicians</span></a></p>

Marcus Rohrmoser 🌻<p>Hi <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Edent" class="u-url mention">@<span>Edent</span></a></span>,<br />I still remember your refreshing <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> talk. But with due respect, I find it disconcerting to use size to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/advertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>advertise</span></a> in an environment based on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>diversity</span></a> and to subordinate personal rights to this.

But that&#39;s not what the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> as I understand it has set out to do.</p>
