FOSDEM 2010 – Brief description
Last weekend Brussels was the hometown of probably the biggest developers meeting in Europe. Our fellow mates from Mozilla did an awesome job inviting few dozens of us to participate in it, and we’re all greatfull that they made that possible for us. Vast variety of topics, a lot of presentation and community in general made this event even more great than it used to be.
I can say that I saw a lot of interested in many Mozilla-lead topics, ie. HTML5. About 50 people waiting in front of our dev-room says enough about it. Also, the WoMoz project was something we wanted to push a bit harder to the audience, and I think I can say that our mission was successful. Also, talking to David Tenser about plans for SUMO(Mozilla Support website and forums) was more than a awesome, as we both agreed that we need a powerful engine that will make SUMO experience for regular users more comfortable.
One more thing I’d like to point out is Mozillas initiative to educate users about the new browser choosing screen that will show to both new and existing users using Windows 7 operating system(Europe only). A lot of people were interested about it, and everyone wanted to talk about it more and see what does Mozilla community thinks about that.
Conclusion: One more event to strengthen Mozilla community relations made our weekend. Thanks to all attendants, and I hope we’ll meet again soon.
