Conference Draft

FOSDEM 2026

Date: Feb 2026
Place: Brussels, Belgium

A few days at FOSDEM 2026 surrounded by open source, late-night conversations, too many beers, and nearly 30 GPUL members sharing the experience together in Brussels.

FOSDEM 2026 felt less like a conference and more like a meeting point for people who genuinely enjoy building things together. Between talks, devrooms, random hallway conversations, and nights ending way too late, most of the experience happened outside the schedule itself. What made it special was going there with GPUL. We were almost 30 members in Brussels, and that completely changed the atmosphere of the trip. Every day became a mix of learning, discussing ideas, meeting people from different communities, and ending up in some bar talking about open source, projects, infrastructure, Linux, or whatever came up after a few beers. This publication is a small reflection on the event, the people around it, and why communities like GPUL make experiences like FOSDEM feel much bigger than just another tech conference.

Organizer / Web Team Draft

HackUDC 2026 - Organizer / Web Team

Date: 2026
Place: A Coruna, Spain

Helped organize a 400+ participant hackathon. Worked on the event website, coordinated tasks remotely, supported sponsor communication, and collaborated with a technical community around open source and software development.

After attending HackUDC as a participant, 2026 was my first time helping from the organization side. A large part of the work happened before the event: coordinating tasks remotely, contributing to the web presence, communicating with people across the team, supporting company and sponsor conversations, and making sure event information stayed clear for participants. It gave me practical experience in teamwork, responsibility, communication, and public-facing web work inside a technical community.
