I recently attended the large Free and Open Source Software conference
FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. I went there by train, of course,
via Copenhagen, Hamburg, and Cologne. The same route back.
I lived in the rather expensive, allegedly fancy hotel Le Châtelain in
Brussels. It was really not that fancy, but they had a … ⌘ Read more

XMPP Interop Testing: Enabling Tests
