The first edition of the Robotics and Simulation devroom at FOSDEM 2025 is a wrap! 🤖🌯
We had a ton of fun, inspiring and motivating talks, great speakers and for most talks a full room with a queue outside.
Thanks to all the attendees, speakers, devroom organizers, the FOSDEM team and volunteers!
See you all next year!
i survived (again). #fosdem gave me some hope for society again. besides #learning an uncountable amount of things. it started right away meeting @_elena finally #irl , a very crowded #mastodon stand with an amazing team behind the desk. ran into @Sascha directly after. thanks to @evan to organise the amazing #devroom for the #socialweb
i attended as many sessions as i was able to ;) from #UN #IDG to @matrix . where i was even invited to have an hour at their stand.
we got also some interest for @haufegroup and also the @acccgn by @micheal who had also his first #fosdem #fosdem25 :blobcatgiggle:
so it ended like always with a wonderful and professional coreo of the #FosdemDance ;)

Hurts to see so many friendly faces in that video stream and to have to follow it remotely ☹️
Talk by Ilya Zverev about #15minutesCities
Being able to do most of your things in a 15 minutes transit distance from your home is a great quality of life and environment indicator for a city.
He talks about how to measure this metric and identify which cities and neighborhoods are 15-minutes compatible.
