WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:19.000 Anyway, welcome to Faustem, 2026. 00:19.000 --> 00:22.000 For who here is the first Faustem? 00:22.000 --> 00:23.000 Okay? 00:31.000 --> 00:35.000 So, for the recording purposes, probably 40% I would say ish. 00:35.000 --> 00:40.000 For those who is not the first time with there are some slight changes to these slides, 00:40.000 --> 00:42.000 because normally we keep them very factual. 00:42.000 --> 00:44.000 Welcome to the center. 00:44.000 --> 00:48.000 And the center is meant in several different ways. 00:48.000 --> 00:50.000 A, the center of open source. 00:50.000 --> 00:53.000 This is the biggest open source conference, 00:53.000 --> 00:56.000 like pure open source conference, which we have on earth. 00:56.000 --> 00:59.000 It is the thing in open source. 00:59.000 --> 01:02.000 But also, welcome to the center of Belgium. 01:02.000 --> 01:05.000 And to the center of the European Union. 01:05.000 --> 01:10.000 And also, the center of the free world as of a few weeks ago. 01:10.000 --> 01:22.000 Some people claim open source is not political. 01:22.000 --> 01:24.000 They have always been wrong. 01:24.000 --> 01:29.000 The idea of democratizing the means of production, 01:29.000 --> 01:33.000 and giving it to everyone for free or at a charge, 01:33.000 --> 01:39.000 but for their own use is radically different from anything you see in it. 01:40.000 --> 01:44.000 Open source has always been political. 02:01.000 --> 02:03.000 There is a lot of talk about sovereignty at the moment, 02:03.000 --> 02:05.000 and it is insanely important. 02:05.000 --> 02:08.000 It is really important. 02:08.000 --> 02:11.000 For everyone in this room to take this back with you, 02:11.000 --> 02:14.000 and there is a few reasons. 02:14.000 --> 02:20.000 If we lose our democracies, all of this is for shit. 02:21.000 --> 02:30.000 Thank you very much. 02:36.000 --> 02:37.000 It will be okay. 02:37.000 --> 02:38.000 Maybe. 02:43.000 --> 02:45.000 I'm drumming, I paid attention to history class. 02:45.000 --> 02:47.000 It is fucking scary. 02:50.000 --> 03:01.000 But there is a lot of good people, and actually there is more good people than bad people. 03:01.000 --> 03:08.000 We are at a decision point for western style democracies. 03:08.000 --> 03:13.000 You can choose very, very wisely what you do in the future. 03:13.000 --> 03:19.000 Because you are at the center, both of the free world at the moment, and of open source. 03:19.000 --> 03:24.000 There is a lot of choice you can make good or bad, and they will influence the future. 03:24.000 --> 03:27.000 The time to be nice about a few things, it is finally over. 03:36.000 --> 03:37.000 Thank you very much. 03:37.000 --> 03:55.000 So, now that I am on a few more lists, let's go back to normal slides. 03:55.000 --> 03:58.000 Thank you. 03:58.000 --> 04:06.000 So, for people who want to volunteer, but maybe not go into the front and center of a few people with lists. 04:06.000 --> 04:09.000 You can still volunteer. 04:09.000 --> 04:12.000 At least as of yesterday, we actually had a pretty fast buildup. 04:12.000 --> 04:15.000 It might have been the fastest buildup ever. 04:15.000 --> 04:21.000 As such, there is no huge need, but we would appreciate if you have time to sign up. 04:21.000 --> 04:23.000 If we need anything, we can send you email. 04:23.000 --> 04:27.000 But this year, it is probably going to be okay because we have even more people helping us. 04:27.000 --> 04:34.000 Also, on Sunday, if you stay long enough, we will have a really big group dinner, which is always super nice. 04:34.000 --> 04:37.000 Because you meet all the really good people. 04:37.000 --> 04:42.000 I am not implying the rest is not good, but like you meet a lot of nice people who really like to help. 04:42.000 --> 04:47.000 And it is always a really good time to help and clean up in particular on Sunday night. 04:47.000 --> 04:52.000 If you need help, yellow shirts, yellow jackets are for us. 04:52.000 --> 04:56.000 They are supposed to know pretty much everything. 04:56.000 --> 04:59.000 We don't really, but most things we do. 04:59.000 --> 05:01.000 Blue shirts are the Deafroom managers. 05:01.000 --> 05:04.000 They are basically running the conference in a conference with in the Deafrooms. 05:04.000 --> 05:08.000 They are there for all purposes for the specific Deafroom. 05:08.000 --> 05:10.000 Green shirts are video teams. 05:10.000 --> 05:14.000 If there is anything with audio or the video boxes or anything, those are the people. 05:14.000 --> 05:19.000 And orange shirts are the all purpose volunteers, which basically get random assignments. 05:19.000 --> 05:22.000 Like for example, door duty and whatever. 05:22.000 --> 05:24.000 Yeah, so this is roughly it. 05:24.000 --> 05:27.000 If anything really bad happens, find a person with. 05:28.000 --> 05:30.000 That's my mom calling. 05:33.000 --> 05:35.000 Probably got a visit from the police. 05:35.000 --> 05:37.000 Joking. 05:37.000 --> 05:40.000 Joking yet causes a serious and it's really serious. 05:40.000 --> 05:43.000 And we all of us need to do something about the fucking things which happen. 05:43.000 --> 05:47.000 Anyway, yeah, orange shirts are the all purpose volunteers. 05:47.000 --> 05:49.000 This is you will be campus. 05:49.000 --> 05:51.000 You can go to NEF, foster org. 05:51.000 --> 05:55.000 There's also going to be a car code on the thing next slide. 05:55.000 --> 05:58.000 And of course, it can be a little bit opaque. 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 How to get around. 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 We have info desks. 06:02.000 --> 06:04.000 Both in K and in H building. 06:04.000 --> 06:07.000 There's also link to the main info desk. 06:07.000 --> 06:09.000 If you need map information. 06:09.000 --> 06:11.000 If you have anything. 06:11.000 --> 06:13.000 View it and random come to info desk. 06:13.000 --> 06:14.000 We can help you. 06:14.000 --> 06:15.000 Also if you want to make donations. 06:15.000 --> 06:16.000 You have any questions at all. 06:16.000 --> 06:17.000 Just come to info desk. 06:17.000 --> 06:19.000 Or you can reach on matrix. 06:19.000 --> 06:20.000 Or you can send us email. 06:20.000 --> 06:22.000 And this is step. 06:22.000 --> 06:25.000 You can send us email. 06:25.000 --> 06:28.000 If you lose anything. 06:28.000 --> 06:31.000 We have the lost info desk in K. 06:31.000 --> 06:34.000 Or you just email. 06:34.000 --> 06:35.000 Network. 06:35.000 --> 06:36.000 I was actually informed yesterday. 06:36.000 --> 06:37.000 For ten years. 06:37.000 --> 06:42.000 I've been telling people where the second conference ever to run a default IPv6 only network. 06:42.000 --> 06:44.000 We were actually the first. 06:44.000 --> 06:45.000 For ten years. 06:45.000 --> 06:47.000 I was wrong about this. 06:47.000 --> 06:49.000 For all the software engineers in here. 06:49.000 --> 06:51.000 There are very few bugs. 06:51.000 --> 06:53.000 Like ten years ago. 06:53.000 --> 06:56.000 A lot of those stuff broke on a IPv6 only network. 06:56.000 --> 06:58.000 These days it is largely okay. 06:58.000 --> 06:59.000 But still if you find bugs. 06:59.000 --> 07:00.000 Fix them. 07:00.000 --> 07:02.000 We also have to do a stat network. 07:02.000 --> 07:03.000 In case you need it. 07:03.000 --> 07:05.000 Some people have heard us. 07:05.000 --> 07:07.000 But at least try the default network. 07:07.000 --> 07:08.000 It tends to just work. 07:08.000 --> 07:10.000 Also they are open networks. 07:10.000 --> 07:12.000 This is all you will be. 07:12.000 --> 07:13.000 Infrastructure. 07:13.000 --> 07:16.000 We don't have a lot of influence on how things are done. 07:16.000 --> 07:18.000 So please encrypt your traffic. 07:19.000 --> 07:21.000 Social interaction. 07:21.000 --> 07:24.000 A lot of the rooms are over full anyway. 07:24.000 --> 07:26.000 As you can probably guess. 07:26.000 --> 07:31.000 So I highly encourage you to also talk to people. 07:31.000 --> 07:32.000 It is. 07:32.000 --> 07:34.000 Yeah, I know introverts talking to people kind of weird. 07:34.000 --> 07:36.000 But now it is actually worth it. 07:36.000 --> 07:39.000 Like this is one of the best things about forced them. 07:39.000 --> 07:43.000 Because for any non-trivial project you have one person on sight at least. 07:43.000 --> 07:44.000 It is the thing. 07:44.000 --> 07:45.000 Talk to people. 07:45.000 --> 07:48.000 You can always watch recordings and most of the rooms are full anyway. 07:48.000 --> 07:49.000 Talk to people. 07:49.000 --> 07:53.000 We also allow you to talk without face-to-face interaction over matrix. 07:53.000 --> 07:57.000 The ones who care probably already talk a picture of the QR code. 07:57.000 --> 07:59.000 Yeah. 07:59.000 --> 08:00.000 We are. 08:00.000 --> 08:05.000 For weird reasons we have massively reduced the amount of exposure. 08:05.000 --> 08:09.000 We have on on various commercial social media sites. 08:09.000 --> 08:12.000 The main thing which we use is a our own website. 08:12.000 --> 08:17.000 And also message on and you can find us on Fossidon on Fossidon on Fossidon. 08:17.000 --> 08:18.000 Yeah. 08:18.000 --> 08:19.000 Good reminder. 08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 I need to take a photo of this. 08:21.000 --> 08:22.000 And then we will. 08:22.000 --> 08:25.000 Just as a way to get you to more people to. 08:25.000 --> 08:26.000 To join. 08:26.000 --> 08:27.000 To join. 08:27.000 --> 08:29.000 I'm only going to share this photo on. 08:29.000 --> 08:42.000 You'll find this photo in a bit. 08:42.000 --> 08:52.000 I'm just going to babble a little. 08:52.000 --> 08:53.000 Okay. 08:53.000 --> 08:54.000 Just checking. 08:54.000 --> 08:55.000 I'm going to check in. 08:55.000 --> 08:56.000 I'm going to check in. 08:56.000 --> 08:59.000 I'm going to check in. 08:59.000 --> 09:02.000 I'm going to check in. 09:02.000 --> 09:03.000 Okay. 09:03.000 --> 09:04.000 Okay. 09:04.000 --> 09:05.000 Schedule. 09:05.000 --> 09:06.000 Reason why you're here. 09:06.000 --> 09:07.000 This is a schedule. 09:07.000 --> 09:09.000 It is massive. 09:09.000 --> 09:10.000 Do take a read. 09:10.000 --> 09:13.000 But again, if you cannot get in any of the rooms. 09:13.000 --> 09:14.000 Don't over index on it. 09:14.000 --> 09:15.000 It is fine. 09:15.000 --> 09:16.000 Everything is recorded. 09:16.000 --> 09:17.000 Anyway. 09:17.000 --> 09:20.000 Talking to people is your priority. 09:21.000 --> 09:24.000 Sorry. 09:24.000 --> 09:26.000 Can you. 09:26.000 --> 09:27.000 Sorry. 09:27.000 --> 09:28.000 Well. 09:28.000 --> 09:29.000 Okay. 09:29.000 --> 09:32.000 These are some stats about the schedule. 09:32.000 --> 09:35.000 I removed the more detailed stuff. 09:35.000 --> 09:41.000 Of course, I need a time for the intro and we will go through this in the closing. 09:41.000 --> 09:44.000 Speaking of buffs, we are still open for signups. 09:44.000 --> 09:47.000 For those who don't know, both stands for birds of a feather. 09:47.000 --> 09:54.000 You have a topic you're interested in and we just give you a space and the time and other people can come and you can talk about stuff. 09:54.000 --> 09:55.000 Highly recommended. 09:55.000 --> 09:58.000 It is basically a hallway track where you set a topic. 09:58.000 --> 10:01.000 You will have so many interesting discussions in the buffs. 10:01.000 --> 10:03.000 Highly encourage you to intend them. 10:03.000 --> 10:06.000 And also, again, we still have some space left. 10:06.000 --> 10:09.000 So I encourage you to, if you have a topic. 10:09.000 --> 10:11.000 Just submitted. 10:11.000 --> 10:16.000 And please don't use a trailing slash there's currently a bug on the website. 10:17.000 --> 10:18.000 Etiquette. 10:18.000 --> 10:20.000 It's about being nice to each other. 10:20.000 --> 10:24.000 So if anything, you have to wait or anything form an orderly queue. 10:24.000 --> 10:26.000 Don't skip the queue. 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 Just wait. 10:28.000 --> 10:32.000 If you get instructions by staff or by volunteers. 10:32.000 --> 10:37.000 Please follow them because it is there's a reason. 10:37.000 --> 10:40.000 If any of us are in a hurry, please make way. 10:40.000 --> 10:42.000 This also includes the food cues. 10:42.000 --> 10:47.000 We will skip food cues a few times during lunch to just do food runs for 10:47.000 --> 10:49.000 InfoDesk for the knock for everything. 10:49.000 --> 10:53.000 So in this case, please just let us pass. 10:53.000 --> 10:55.000 Yeah. 10:55.000 --> 10:56.000 Stats. 10:56.000 --> 11:03.000 We have a public dashboard where we share a scarily large amount of internal data about operations. 11:03.000 --> 11:05.000 And we keep adding more overtime. 11:05.000 --> 11:09.000 So, yeah, if you want have a look. 11:09.000 --> 11:14.000 Also, for, sorry, volunteer over there. 11:14.000 --> 11:18.000 Can you just tell him to not talk because it's super loud? 11:18.000 --> 11:19.000 Yeah. 11:19.000 --> 11:22.000 If they can be quiet because it's super loud. 11:22.000 --> 11:24.000 Thank you. 11:24.000 --> 11:26.000 We have a treasure hunt. 11:26.000 --> 11:29.000 I have been informed it is not impossible to solve. 11:29.000 --> 11:32.000 Contrary to the one last year. 11:32.000 --> 11:37.000 I actually did consider not updating the QR code and just pointing you to the old one. 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 So I increased the treasure hunt level. 11:39.000 --> 11:41.000 But no, that's actually the current one. 11:41.000 --> 11:43.000 No, it should be solveable. 11:43.000 --> 11:47.000 But also, please give feedback on the treasure hunt if you have any. 11:47.000 --> 11:49.000 Again, to etiquette. 11:49.000 --> 11:53.000 If this sign is outside a room. 11:53.000 --> 11:55.000 You don't do the Garfield of hum. 11:55.000 --> 11:58.000 I wonder who this is for, this is for you. 11:58.000 --> 12:03.000 We don't put those signs out lightly. 12:03.000 --> 12:08.000 We would like ideally to have 100 rooms with unlimited seats. 12:08.000 --> 12:09.000 But we don't. 12:09.000 --> 12:11.000 We record things. 12:11.000 --> 12:14.000 So, just watch the streaming on your cell phone. 12:14.000 --> 12:16.000 Or watch the recording. 12:16.000 --> 12:18.000 But if the room is full, the room is full. 12:18.000 --> 12:21.000 If you really want to attend this one talk in person. 12:21.000 --> 12:24.000 I encourage you to basically go to talks earlier. 12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 And already get a seat. 12:25.000 --> 12:28.000 That's the only way to really be certain that you will have a seat. 12:29.000 --> 12:32.000 Feedback, please send email to feedbackatfastem.org. 12:32.000 --> 12:34.000 Health and safety. 12:34.000 --> 12:38.000 Yes, you're here less coughing this year than last year. 12:38.000 --> 12:42.000 But still a large fraction of the people in this room will go home sick. 12:42.000 --> 12:48.000 That is just how CCC, how foster them, how you can, how any major conference works. 12:48.000 --> 12:50.000 Yeah. 12:50.000 --> 12:55.000 Personally speaking, I've been ill roughly 50% of the time after foster. 12:55.000 --> 12:58.000 Then I started doing this and it just works. 12:58.000 --> 12:59.000 It's optional. 12:59.000 --> 13:00.000 It's recommended. 13:00.000 --> 13:02.000 We have three masks at the end for this. 13:02.000 --> 13:07.000 And if you really feel sick, please get tested and or just stay at the hotel and watch the streaming. 13:07.000 --> 13:10.000 First eight, we have first eight in K on the second level. 13:10.000 --> 13:15.000 I'm going to leave this one up a little bit longer because we had an off-site accident just today. 13:15.000 --> 13:18.000 But this reminded me of how important this is. 13:18.000 --> 13:19.000 Anything happens. 13:19.000 --> 13:20.000 Yeah. 13:20.000 --> 13:23.000 Also, we have the building responsible people. 13:23.000 --> 13:24.000 Again, people with yellow. 13:24.000 --> 13:27.000 They have first eight kids in all in all buildings. 13:27.000 --> 13:32.000 So if you cut yourself or whatever you can also just talk to someone in yellow. 13:32.000 --> 13:33.000 Call of conduct. 13:33.000 --> 13:38.000 We take this very seriously as you can probably tell by the opening statement. 13:38.000 --> 13:39.000 Any questions? 13:39.000 --> 13:40.000 Go there. 13:40.000 --> 13:41.000 Email us. 13:41.000 --> 13:42.000 Call us. 13:42.000 --> 13:43.000 This number is actually 24. 13:43.000 --> 13:44.000 7. 13:44.000 --> 13:45.000 So please don't abuse it. 13:45.000 --> 13:46.000 And ask any staff. 13:46.000 --> 13:47.000 Ideally ask staff. 13:47.000 --> 13:49.000 But it push comes to shove. 13:49.000 --> 13:52.000 Ask anyone in one of the color charts. 13:52.000 --> 13:56.000 And again, remind her we do take this seriously. 13:56.000 --> 14:02.000 Then around of thanks to all the volunteers. 14:02.000 --> 14:11.000 To all the deafroom managers. 14:11.000 --> 14:20.000 To all speakers. 14:20.000 --> 14:38.000 And to all staff. 14:38.000 --> 14:49.000 Also, thank you to all our sponsors. 14:49.000 --> 14:59.000 If you want to have fewer sponsors, you can also donate. 14:59.000 --> 15:04.000 That is actually a good way to reduce our dependency on sponsorship. 15:04.000 --> 15:09.000 We also sell t-shirts and sweaters and such. 15:09.000 --> 15:14.000 You can go to the info desk at K or H or you can just follow the QR code. 15:14.000 --> 15:20.000 And this is a really good way to reduce our dependency. 15:20.000 --> 15:22.000 Also, just random thing. 15:22.000 --> 15:24.000 If anyone from the European Union is here. 15:24.000 --> 15:30.000 They actually have sponsorship money for obviously positive open source things. 15:30.000 --> 15:39.000 Come find me. 15:39.000 --> 15:43.000 Maybe as a follow up to that one, anyone who is on an European Union level. 15:43.000 --> 15:47.000 First them is actually interested in becoming more political for obvious reasons. 15:47.000 --> 15:50.000 So also feel more than welcome to approach me and talk about this. 15:50.000 --> 15:58.000 Because we will be trying to to use our visibility for some good stuff. 15:58.000 --> 16:00.000 And finally, thank you. 16:00.000 --> 16:02.000 Thank all of you for attending. 16:02.000 --> 16:12.000 And with this, have fun and be excellent to each other.
