FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software.
Usually taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe.
What is FOSDEM?
FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet to:
- get in touch with other developers and projects;
- be informed about the latest developments in the free software world;
- be informed about the latest developments in the open source world;
- attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers;
- to promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions.
Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship.
Developer rooms
The FOSDEM team feels it is very important for free and open source software developers around the world to be able to meet in “real life”.
To this end, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and discussions. We believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings.

The Russian Woodpecker over the horizon radar, a blast from the past – Keith KI6BDR.
Hidden deep in a serene forest yet taller than the clouds, standing in surreal beauty is an antenna array like none other on earth, having an aperture area greater than 15 U.S. football fields. One of the great wonders of the world – a top secret Soviet radar, so secret that even the name is uncertain, for it had many. It was the Russian Woodpecker. It was the Steel Yard. It was Duga.
The story of this top secret place is one of mystery and intrigue. Now abandoned, a rusting testament to man’s cold war hubris, almost all popular accounts on the web are seriously flawed – victims of deliberate disinformation. Where did it come from? What did it do? Did it transmit? Did it receive? Was it the first of three, or the third of two?
Keith Snyder, KI6BDR, has been busy reverse engineering to uncover truth before time erases history. Keith shows visible engineering clues that reveal the mission and correct the history of the huge “Duga 3” antenna Array. The Duga 3 is located a few kilometers from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant site. Although it has fallen into disrepair, it stands today due only to a hasty exit forced by radiation from the
Chernobyl nuclear accident. The nuclear accident ironically protected the array from dismantlement, a reprieve from all but the ravages of time. The antenna array today attracts tourists who visit Chernobyl. It is one of the 8th wonders of the world due to its Titanic size.

Deze avond zal zal Jeroen PE1RXQ een lezing verzorgen over Digital Voice.
De tijd dat zendamateurs voor spraakverbindingen alleen konden kiezen uit FM, SSB of AM ligt achter ons. Tegenwoordig zijn er ook volledig digitale modulatie technieken voor spraak. Sommige daarvan m.b.v. een gesloten protocol of commerciële hardware, andere volledig open source zoals FreeDigitalVoice.
Jeroen is ook voorzitter van de VERON afdeling Eindhoven en heeft naast FreeDV ook met DMR en APRS geëxperimenteerd.
Dit beloofd weer een interessante avond te worden.
=======================================================
Zoals voorgaande lezingen zal ook deze weer gehouden worden via Jitsi, met als adres : meet.jit.si/pi3zlb
Ga op de avond van de lezing in een moderne webbrowser naar de url.
NB dit is dezelfde url die ook voor de streaming van de zondagochtendronde wordt gebruikt.
Om 20.00 uur willen we met de lezing starten, maar voor wat laatste checks m.b.t. de ICT instellingen is het virtuele zaaltje al eerder toegankelijk.

Die für den 12. Februar 2022 geplante GHz-Tagung Dorsten muss leider ausfallen.
Zum zweiten Mal in Folge treffen sich die Mikrowellenamateure nicht im Februar in Dorsten, um sich über die neuesten Entwicklungen auf den GHz-Bändern und das vergangene Contestjahr auszutauschen. Die aktuelle Entwicklung der Pandemielage lässt eine Durchführung der Tagung leider nicht zu.
Auf unsere Webseite wird ab Spätsommer 2022 die Ankündigung für die GHz-Tagung 2023 veröffentlicht, die dann hoffentlich wieder in altbewährter Form stattfinden soll. Die Tagungsleitung freut sich bereits jetzt schon darauf, die Mikrowellenamateure 2023 endlich wieder in Dorsten begrüßen zu dürfen.
=========================================
Die GHz-Tagung in Dorsten beschäftigt sich mit dem Amateurfunkbetrieb auf Frequenzen oberhalb von 1,2 GHz.
Die GHz-Tagung lebt von den zahlreichen Fachvorträgen und der Möglichkeit des persönlichen Gesprächs. Sie wird jedes Jahr von mehr als 200 Funkamateuren besucht, um über die neuesten Entwicklungen auf den GHz-Bändern zu diskutieren. Zudem wird hier jedes Jahr der DARC-UKW-Contestpokal verliehen.
Die Tagung wird organisiert vom DARC-Distrikt Westfalen-Nord. Unterstützt wird die GHz-Tagung durch die Volkshochschule Dorsten.
