This blog post is more than two years old. It is preserved here in the hope that it is useful to someone, but please be aware that links may be broken and that opinions expressed here may not reflect my current views. If this is a technical article, it may no longer reflect current best practice.

FOSDEM 2016 starts tomorrow and I will be attending. I’ve not got off to a brilliant start with my flight being cancelled, though SAS have now rebooked me onto a later flight and I’m going to arrive in time for the start tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I am going to miss the Friday beer event.

On the Saturday, the real-time communications devroom will be happening, and I am one of the devroom admins that helped to organise this. There will be a full day of talks and demonstrations about real-time communications using open standards and free software. I’m rather excited about this.

On the Sunday, I’ll be giving a talk and quick demonstration in the distributions devroom about real-time communications in free software communities and why it is useful for your community.

If you’re considering setting up some real-time communications infrastructure for your community but you’re not going to be along to FOSDEM, there is a great guide for getting started at rtcquickstart.org.
