FluConf 2025

February 1 & 2

Each year on the first weekend in February afficionados of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and open culture gather in Brussels to meet each other, talk about their projects, and spread a cocktail of pathogens known as the FOSDEM Flu.

FluConf is intended as an alternative, online venue for those in these communities who still care about public health.

The format

FluConf is an online event. It is free to participate, and no advanced registration is required.

Submit an abstract of whatever you want to share. We welcome blog posts, videos, podcasts, interactive websites, art projects, whatever, as long as they match at least one of our broad themes.

Publish on your own website, linking back to FluConf.online. We'll link back to participants' sites once the event starts, and highlight different contributions on social media throughout the weekend using the #fluConf2025 hashtag.
