+description: |
+ Box86 allows to run 32bits x86 applications on ARM devices.\r
+\r
+Playing linux games, like WorldOfGoo, FTL or Unreal Tournament 2004 on a RaspberryPI 4 or other SBC, becomes possible with Box86. Using Wine is also supported, opening a lot more possibilities and enhancing the compatibility of ARM board.\r
+You are not limited on games with box86, and you can use it to run Zoom linux client, or setup a Teamspeak or Game Server.\r
+\r
+Box86 combine a fast Dynarec that converts on the fly x86 code to ARM code, with native library wrapping to avoid emulating frequently used functions and to be able to use box86 super easily: no need for a full x86 chroot system, most used libraries are the native versions.
+
+showcase: |
+ Discover new possibilties for your RaspberryPI 4 and all other ARM SBC with Box86. Playing FTL or Into the Breach, Unreal Tournament 99 or 2004, or racing a few laps on Flatout (to name just a few) becomes possible on a small SBC.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Box86 is targeted towards 32bits. While compatibility and speed can be improved, the support of 16bits code (for Wine) is probably the last missing feature for box86.\r
+After that, Box64 will be targeted toward 64bits apps. It will be a different application, and will allow similar principles with native use of ARM64 native libs directly on x86_64 linux apps.

+ GSoC is a mentorship program introducing students 18 years and older to open source software development. Students have the opportunity to work on a coding project under the guidance of mentors from the open source community, learning how to be better developers and community members along the way. This is often the first time many students have contributed to an open source project. With over 16,000 students participating in the program with 715 open source organizations and 13,000 mentors since 2005 this truly is a global program.\r
+\r
+There are a couple of major changes for the 2021 GSoC program that we hope will allow even more folks to participate. We look forward to talking with folks about these changes at FOSDEM 2021.
+
+showcase: |
+ Google Summer of Code (GSoC) has brought over 16,000 excited, new student developers into 715 open source communities since 2005. The program has continued to remain interesting for students because of the spectacular, dedicated mentors from these open source communities that have devoted their time, energy and expertise to help the students become contributors in their communities. \r
+\r
+With Google Summer of Code, students have the opportunity to work on a real open source project under the guidance of mentors while still studying in a post-secondary academic program. Students earn a stipend for their contributions allowing them more flexibility to be able focus on their coding and community contributions.\r
+\r
+Each year over 200 open source projects act as mentoring organizations for the 1200+ students. In 2021 we hope to welcome 30-40 new projects into the GSoC program so please come to our stand and ask us those burning questions!
+
+new_this_year: |
+ For GSoC 2021 we are making our two biggest changes in the 17 year history of the program and are adjusting the GSoC program to the evolving needs of our student developers across the globe in 2021.\r
+\r
+1) We are decreasing the time needed for students to participate in GSoC 2021. We look forward to seeing how lowering the time commitments to ~175 hours over 10 weeks will open the program up to many folks who were unable to spend 360+ hours over 3 months on the program previously. \r
+\r
+2) We are also broadening the eligibility requirements to include all students in post-secondary academic programs including those in coding schools and certificate programs. We also are allowing recent student graduates of post-secondary academic programs (those who graduated between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021) to apply. \r
+\r
+We look forward to talking with interested students and those open source projects interested in being mentoring organizations for Google Summer of Code about these changes and answering your questions.

+\r
+Oh, and while we won't be able to get your DVDs hand-to-hand, we still have some to ship :-)
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Since last FOSDEM we had a Beta2 release last June which fixes 900 bugs from Beta1 and adds 2800 commits to it:\r
+It brings HiDPI support.\r
+During GSoC2020 the Input Preferences were reworked a lot to handle multiple devices.\r
+The Installation now supports excluding optional packages that are included on the installation medium.\r
+And there is even an upgrade path available from Haiku R1 Beta 1 to Beta 2 so you don't have to reinstall.\r
+Hardware support is also improved, with NVMe drives, and improvements on XHCI.\r
+Documentation was also improved, like on the layout support.\r
+The WebKit version used by WebPositive was updated.\r
+\r
+Various applications were also ported or updated like LibreOffice, Telegram, Okular, Krita, AQEMU… and some more games.\r
+And new applications are also written, like Medo, a video editor.\r

+logo: stands/info booth on amateur radio (ham radio)/logo.png
+description: |
+ Amateur radio (ham radio) is a technical / scientific hobby for anything about radio, radio-communication, radio-propagation and radio-technology. It allows individuals to experiment with radio-technology: use it, learn about it, design it and even build it yourself. Amateur radio infrastructure is also used for emergency communications as a service to the general public.\r
+\r
+As our world is more and more based on telecommunication and wireless technology (mobile internet, WiFi, Bluetooth, satellite-navigation, radio- and TV broadcasts, Internet-of-Things, NFC-tags, ..), good knowledge of radio-telecommunication technology is an advantage for everybody interested in technology, and amateur radio is one of the best tools for this purpose.\r
+\r
+Finally, as one of the oldest technical hobbies, amateur radio has always advocated sharing knowledge and information, long before the terms 'open source' existed.
+
+showcase: |
+ Radio has something magical. You send electricity into a wire that connected to ... nothing and, if the wire has the correct length, that electricity just disappears. Pouf! Gone! ...\r
+But if you place another wire close-by, even though the wires do not touch, a part of the electricity appears on that second wire. Is that magical?\r
+But do you know the best part? You can use this effect to communicate with other people!\r
+\r
+Amateur radio (also known as ham radio) is a technical and scientific hobby for everything about radio, radio-communication, radio-propagation and radio-technology. It allows you to experience radio from the inside-out: as an operator (use it), designing and building your own radio-equipment or set up radio-communication infrastructure. As one of the oldest technical hobbies around, all this is done in a culture of sharing information and knowledge.\r
+\r
+Wireless communication is now part of our everyday life: mobile internet, wifi, bluetooth, satellite-navigation, radio- and TV broadcasts, Internet-of-things, NFC tags, .. the list goes on and on. Understanding radio-communication is a skill that is useful whatever field of science or technology you are involved in, and amateur radio is probably the best tool to do exactly that.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Amateur radio is not a 'project'. It is a very wide field of technologies in continues evolution, so it is not easy to provide a list of 'new things to expect this year'.\r
+\r
+Due to the different format of the infobooth this year, our plans for 2021 are to focus on demonstrating the "operating" element of amateur radio, i.e. actually using radio to make contacts with other amateur radio stations.\r
+In addition to a number of online presentations and interactive chats with visitors, we will show live radio amateur station contacts using different modes and different transmission-systems: morse-code, voice, digital communication, satellite, ...\r
+In fact, this shows that amateur radio and "the internet" do not exclude each-other.

+ LibreOffice is a powerful FOSS office suite used by millions of people around the world, which includes several applications: Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (vector graphics and flowcharts), Base (databases), and Math (formula editing). Its clean UI and feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your productivity.\r
+LibreOffice is compatible with a wide range of proprietary document formats, such as Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) and Publisher. But LibreOffice goes much further with its native support for a modern and open standard, the Open Document Format (ODF). With LibreOffice, you have maximum control over your data and content – and you can export your work in many different formats including PDF.
+
+showcase: |
+ We will announce LibreOffice 7.1 just before FOSDEM, with a new communication strategy focused on improving our reach and educating enterprises to increase their contributions to FOSS projects. So, we will have plenty of news to share with FOSS advocates using LibreOffice for their personal productivity, with organizations migrating to LibreOffice to regain control of their documents, and with public administrations focusing on digital sovereignty.

+description: |
+ Matrix (https://matrix.org) is an open protocol for secure, decentralised communication - defining an end-to-end-encrypted real-time communication layer for the open Web suitable for instant messaging, VoIP, microblogging, forums and more. We publish Matrix as an open standard (https://matrix.org/docs/spec) under the open governance of the non-profit Matrix.org Foundation (https://matrix.org/foundation), and release Apache-licensed reference implementations of the protocol for server, client SDKs, bots, bridges & more. Some users may recognise Matrix via client apps such as Element (https://element.io, formerly Riot).\r
+\r
+Matrix works by replicating conversation history across servers which participate in a given conversation, ensuring that ownership of the conversation is fully decentralised: no single server owns or controls the conversation, just as git repositories are cloned equally between all participants. As a result, you can think of Matrix more like a global decentralised object database with realtime pubsub semantics, rather than a traditional message-passing protocol. The protocol defines HTTPS+JSON APIs as a baseline, but more efficient transports and encodings are supported and encouraged.\r
+\r
+The public Matrix network on the internet has over 26M addressable users spread over ~60K servers, ranging in size from personal RPis through to massive deployments for organisations including Mozilla, the Wikimedia Foundation, German schools in Schleswig-Holstein & Hamburg, and the entirety of the French Government.
+
+showcase: |
+ Matrix is an open protocol for secure decentralised communication, aiming to bust open the closed proprietary communication silos (Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp etc) which have dominated in recent years. On our stand you'll be able to sync via chat & video conference directly with the core Matrix team, get demos of all the latest stuff we've been working on, and generally learn how to liberate your communication and join the open Matrix communication network.

+ * We got the first messages flowing over Decentralised MLS (Messaging Layer Security), giving logarithmic rather than linear complexity E2EE.\r
+\r
+In 2021, we plan to add:\r
+ * Spaces - shareable hierarchies of rooms, effectively making Matrix a decentralised hierarchical filesystem for realtime data!\r
+ * Threads - full support for free-form threaded conversations\r
+ * Full Social Login (log in via Github, Gitlab, or as wide a choice of SSO providers as you like)\r

+ MIT App Inventor is an open source (Apache Software License 2.0) platform for anyone to build their own mobile apps. The MIT App Inventor project seeks to democratize software development by empowering all people, especially young people, to move from technology consumption to technology creation. Currently it targets Android with an iOS version in the works, and is used by over one million people worldwide every year. Recently, we introduced a suite of on-device machine learning extensions to allow people to learn about training and evaluating custom ML models without sending data to any third parties.
+
+showcase: |
+ Come to the App Inventor stand at FOSDEM to learn about how you can quickly build your own mobile apps, how you can contribute to the project, and how you can create and publish your own extensions for other developers. You can also talk with members of the current development team about how to contribute to App Inventor through Google Summer of Code. Join our worldwide community of developers to enable anyone to build a mobile app!
+
+new_this_year: |
+ In the last year we have implemented support for dictionaries in the App Inventor language. We have introduced support for newer Android APIs. These facilities make it easier to interoperate with JSON and XML data. We are also developing a feature called Visible Component Extensions, which will allow any developer to extend App Inventor's capabilities with custom views. We also recently introduced a suite of on-device machine learning extensions to allow people to learn about training and evaluating custom ML models without sending data to any third parties and have produced curricula for teachers to use to teach about artificial intelligence (http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai-with-mit-app-inventor). These materials are freely available for anyone to use under the CC 4.0 BY-SA license. In 2020 we introduced improved support for using App Inventor for mobile development on Chromebooks.

+ Where is your data? Where are the pictures from your last vacation on the beach, where is your contact list, where are the last chats you had with your loved ones? Who has access to that data, who can see it, who can download it, who can modify or delete it? Do you trust the services you use to take care of your data?\r
+\r
+Your data represents who you are and can easily be abused. We want this to change.\r
+\r
+We at Nextcloud believe that you have a right to decide what happens with your data. We believe that you should be able to have as much control as possible on what belongs to no one else but you.\r
+\r
+How does that work? First, Nextcloud is an Open Source private cloud software, which means that anyone can read the code, and make sure it keeps your data safe. And second, at Nextcloud, we don't force you to pick our own infrastructure or servers like the big famous public clouds do. You can run Nextcloud yourself, at home or in a data center on rented space. You can buy ready-to-go devices with Nextcloud or pick a provider who rents out space to you!\r
+\r
+We built a software that does everything you expect from a cloud - from syncing and sharing files to editing documents, storing passwords, calendars and bookmarks and reading mail. But YOU decide where the data is and who has access!\r
+\r
+You're in control. https://nextcloud.com/yourdata/
+
+showcase: |
+ We're a real, cool, open source project. We care about the 'Free' part in FOSDEM as you know! So this shows:\r
+\r
+We are a real community-based Free Software project. 100% open source, a Red Hat like model with support for companies and all code free for everyone.\r
+\r
+Community means people-not-paid-by-us. While we have nearly 3 dozen paid engineers, more than half the code done in our project is from volunteers.\r
+\r
+And our booth reflects this too. last year, we had 15 people - 5 employees (who want to come anyway, being long time FOSS people), the rest volunteers. Half of those we sponsored with travel costs, as we want as many people to attend FOSDEM as possible!\r
+\r
+And we try to do that in a way that helps diversity in open source, mentoring through projects like Rails Girls Summer of Code and directly where we can. More than half the people we sponsored were women - and that's not because we gave them priority over men, but just because they made the best proposal and contributed most. Encouragement and mentoring works and we're very proud of that! Frank even donated the 20.000 euro he recently won in a prize to our Nextcloud Include diversity project - see nextcloud.com/include\r
+\r
+We work with loads of other open source and privacy projects. For example, the FSFE are good friends of us (they carry Nextcloud stickers and recommend us as part of their lovely "there is no cloud, only other people's computers" campaign) and of course we support, promote and get promoted by a wide variety of privacy projects like Cryptoparty (https://www.cryptoparty.in/learn/tools), and https://securedrop.org (Loïc Dachary gave a nice talk at the Nextcloud conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE3l7mD44Is)\r
+\r
+As a company - we're picky about investors as we want the FOSS people to stay in control. We only took investment money from a co-founder of Red Hat, not from venture capital or real estate money etc.

+description: |
+ ntop started as an opensource project in 1998 whose goal was to create a simple yet effective web-based traffic monitoring platform. Many things have changed since then, including the nature of the traffic being analyzed, operating systems being run, and the way users interact with technologies. During this time, ntop has evolved into a fully-fledged research company with many opensource projects whose main spirit is still the original one, namely, to innovate network monitoring using commodity hardware and freely available operating systems.
+
+showcase: |
+ ntop features many opensource projects freely available on GitHub. This stand wants to showcase one of the most popular opensource software developed by ntop, namely, ntopng. ntopng is a web-based traffic monitoring software that combines and correlates raw traffic data with other information to effectively provide network intelligence an actionable insights.\r
+ntopng can be used in heterogeneous environments, ranging from homes and small offices, to large distributed enterprise and research networks. Just to give an example, a real-world use case of ntopng to monitor a large research network was presented at FOSDEM 2020.\r
+ntopng integrates the opensource Deep Packet Inspection library nDPI to inspect the whole protocol stack, up to the layer-7. This allows ntopng to provide intelligence and insights both on traditional network metrics as well as on security-specific metrics such as indicators of compromise.\r
+If you visit our stand, you will have to opportunity to see quick demonstrations of ntopng in action and learn how to deploy it.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Since our last FOSDEM, ntopng has evolved along key dimensions:\r
+\r
+- Input data. ntopng features the ability to receive and combine data from multiple, heterogeneous sources. These sources include, but are not limited to, raw traffic data, NetFlow and sFlow, firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems such as Suricata.\r
+- Output data. Insights and intelligence data can be delivered to multiple downstream recipients, including big-data stores (Elasticsearch), messaging systems (Discord, Slack), email, and more.\r
+- External consumers. A simple REST API exposes data to external consumers. This has paved the way for the integration with Check MK, another popular opensource monitoring tool.\r
+- Extensibility. Developers and community contributors can extend ntopng functionalities by means of simple Lua scripts, that gets executed by ntopng.\r
+- Encrypted traffic analysis. Encrypted TLS traffic is performed to provide insights into the nature and security of monitored encrypted communications.\r
+- Behavior analyses. Heuristics aim at detecting changes in normal and periodic traffic to detect new and possibly suspicious host behaviors.\r
+\r
+For this year, we expect ntopng to keep growing and becoming more open to other opensource projects. Strong focus will be kept on the security aspects of network monitoring, including behavioral and encrypted traffic analyses. Finally, small agents are being built under the hood to be used in combination with ntopng and to leverage its intelligence to block suspicious traffic and prevent malicious activities to disrupt the whole network.

+With over 7 million users worldwide, ONLYOFFICE is a proven innovator in the online office business. Built on a cutting-edge technology, it provides users with a vast range of editing tools and collaborative features ensuring greater team workflow and seamless work with complex formatting and objects. \r
+ONLYOFFICE Docs can be integrated with other open-source services and platforms, as well as developers can extend the functionality of their own solutions.\r
+Besides, ONLYOFFICE provides a collaboration platform with multiple productivity tools such as document and project management, mail, CRM, calendars, chat, etc. released under the Apache 2.0 license.
+
+showcase: |
+ 2020 has been a challenging year for many of us. The pandemic spread sped up the transition to remote work. And we at ONLYOFFICE understand how important it is to combine our “open-source efforts” to help distributed teams all over the world stay connected and productive. Our goal is to make secure and reliable open-source software available for everybody. \r
+Come join us and learn about: \r
+ONLYOFFICE Docs - powerful online editors for text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that can be used within any sync&share and DMS service or integrated into your own solution (AGPL v.3).\r
+ONLYOFFICE Groups - online collaboration platform which comprises tools for managing documents, projects, customers, and emails along with the admin panel for platform configuration (Apache 2.0).\r
+ONLYOFFICE Workspace - a complete self-hosted solution for team management and collaboration which includes ONLYOFFICE Docs, Groups, Mail Server and Talk.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ In 2020, we made lots of useful enhancements in all ONLYOFFICE solutions. \r
+For more efficient collaboration, we implemented a new access permission - Custom filter that allows hiding the data you don’t want to show before sharing your spreadsheet. Besides, Sheet View allows creating a filter that only changes your view of the data, without affecting your collaborators.\r
+With document comparison, you are now able to quickly compare two docs and see differences between them with revision marks, accept/reject/merge the changes.\r
+In ONLYOFFICE Docs, you will find new productivity features such as Pivot tables, conditional formatting for viewing, mirror and gutter margins, slicers for formatted tables, endnotes and cross-references, new plugins Zotero, Mendeley, Autocomplete, Telegram, HTML, Word Count, Typograph, and much more.\r
+To make ONLYOFFICE more secure, we added storage encryption at rest and introduced Private Rooms, protected workplaces where every symbol you type is encrypted using the unbreakable AES-256 algorithm, even if you are co-editing documents with your teammates in real-time. For now, it’s the first version of ONLYOFFICE Private Rooms and we’re planning to further develop and improve it.\r
+We presented ONLYOFFICE Groups released under Apache 2.0 what allows modifying and distributing it without limitations. It can be easily deployed in a few steps and integrated into any product ecosystem. This makes ONLYOFFICE Groups an ideal solution for hosting providers who would like to bring their customers the most complete in-browser collaboration platform.\r
+Along with multiple enhancements for the existing integrations, especially with Nextcloud and ownCloud, the last year brought new connectors that allow integrating ONLYOFFICE Docs with other platforms, namely for HumHub, Plone, and Nuxeo. \r
+We’re now working on multi-functional forms. And we don't talk about these simple forms for making polls. Instead, we are creating a tool for working with complex online documents that will allow quickly building any document template.

+ Since FOSDEM 2020, the OpenEmbedded project has made two major releases on our usual 6-month schedule, "dunfell" in April and "gatesgarth" in November, along with several minor maintenance releases to fix bugs and security issues in upstream projects. Working with Yocto Project, the "dunfell" release is our first Long Term Support (LTS) release which will be maintained for at least 2 years from the initial release date. The "dunfell" release included major improvements to reproducible builds, the hash equivalence server and other key project features. This was also our first release to be entirely free of obsolete Python 2 dependencies within the core metadata (although Python 2 support continues to be available via the meta-python2 layer). Our most recent release includes support for GCC 10, Linux 5.8, glibc 2.32 as well as around 245 other recipe upgrades and represents the work of over 170 contributors to the project. Support for new programming languages such as Rust and new target architectures such as RISCV continues to improve.\r
+\r
+The project is currently working towards the next release codenamed "hardknott" which is scheduled for April 2021. Further improvements are expected to the build reproducibility, autobuilder, hash equivalency service and security processes. We're also working on bringing full support for Rust into the core metadata. A new locked sstate feature is being planned which if successfully integrated will allow improvements to the extensible SDK and enable better use of sstate mirrors to accelerate builds. The regular process of upgrading recipes continues as ever, with support for the new Linux 5.10 LTS release expected to land in our master branch before FOSDEM 2021.

+ The OpenHarmony project aims at a new way of conceiving consumer devices and their use, starting from a great assumption: transcending the physical and conceptual perimeters historically linked to what an operating system can do. In fact, relegating OpenHarmony to a mere OS is an understatement, and the storytelling behind it clearly defines the horizon of IoT, Artificial Intelligence and connectivity that makes it an essential technological trait-d'union.
+
+showcase: |
+ This is a new era and we want to let people to be involved in this new project and build the OpenHarmony journey together. That's why joining our stand will let people deep dive in our mission, project breath, see the innovative code of OpenHarmony, talk directly with our experts via the chatroom facility Freenode IRC and get to know the community already onboard, that have already embraced the OpenHarmony project. Huawei knows the importance of Europe, as one of the most relevant stages, in building world class and truly global open source projects. That's why Open Harmony overseas is managed by an EMEA team, working in the Open Source Technology Center, a strategic and technological hub based in Europe with the aim of increasing our contributions to open source projects and initiatives among the European stage.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ We ended 2020 speaking at ElipseCon2020 and at SFScon20, 2021 is going to be the first year at FOSDEM for us and what a better way than to present a revolutionary project like OpenHarmony to one of the biggest tech audiences in Europe.

+ OpenMandriva is a 100% community controlled Linux distribution.\r
+With (as of December 2020) Plasma 5.20.4, KDE Frameworks 5.77, Qt 5.12.2 and LibreOffice 7.1, it is one of the most current distributions available.\r
+OpenMandriva was the first Linux distribution to switch to a clang based toolchain. In the current version, even the kernel is built with clang 11.\r
+While the primary focus of OpenMandriva is on the desktop, its repositories also contain a state of the art server stack.
+
+showcase: |
+ OpenMandriva is aiming at being easy to get into for newbies, while being one of the most innovative distributions for developers. We were the first to switch to the clang toolchain, and are working on new interesting developer features for our 5.0 release.\r
+OpenMandriva can work on x86_64 systems as well as aarch64 (not sharing some other distributions' limitation to UEFI compliant aarch64 server platforms), and can run as a desktop, workstation, server, or - since the advent of OpenMandriva on PinePhone - smartphone.\r
+You may want to pay us a visit if you're interested in getting into Linux or you're looking for a project that can use your help as a volunteer.\r
+\r
+OpenMandriva is not based on any other distribution. Contributors who are so inclined can do more than just submit a new theme or add an extra package.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ OpenMandriva has come a long way in porting to new hardware: In addition to the traditional x86_64 distribution and the extra version optimized specifically for AMD Ryzen processors, OpenMandriva now runs on Pinebook Pro, Cubox Pulse, various ARM devboards, and UEFI capable Aarch64 servers. A phone stack running on PinePhone is in the works (and ready for initial use). A RISC-V port is also in the works (presently running in qemu) and should be ready for daily use shortly after we can get our hands on Hifive Unmatched boards.\r
+With the 4.2 release done, our main focus has moved to 5.0 - which will bring many improvements to the core system, such as making crosscompiling and targeting multiple architectures easier than ever.

+ All of those opensource hardware projects are focusing on the CPU side:\r
+RISC-V, all kinds of open CPU cores, Raspberry PI, xxxx PI, PINE64, openWRT, AI/machine-learning accelerators.\r
+However the radio connectivity part of those opensource hardware boards are still from black-box silicon (commercial chips, like WiFi chips from big companies).\r
+Openwifi project, which was announced in the last FOSDEM, is the first attempt to build an opensource chip in the radio connectivity domain!\r
+Now we have tested the design on the FPGA development board (SDR -- Software Defined Radio), and it works well in the real world scenario. Meanwhile we also add some unique features that commercial chips don't have.\r
+\r
+We hope more people can come and think about the opensource activity in the radio chip domain, and invest more in this domain!\r
+\r
+We are also eager to hear from people about the idea (under internal preparation): Low cost SDR openwifi dongle (<100usd) and chip tape out plan.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ 1. Port the design from a single type of board to 6 types of boards! From high end (expensive) to low end (cheap for entry)\r
+2. Low latency ping: 200~300us round trip.\r

+description: |
+ Established in 2007 as a non-profit organisation, OW2 is a “community of communities”. Our mission is to make freely available a portfolio of open source software for enterprise information systems in domains such as middleware, open cloud, big data, BPM, security and privacy, software engineering, collaboration, etc. The OW2 code base hosts dozens of open source projects such as ASM, AuthzForce, CLIF, DocDoku, FusionDirectory, GLPI, JORAM, Knowage, LemonLDAP:NG, Lutece, OCS Inventory, Petals ESB, Prelude, ProActive, Rocket.Chat, SAT4J, SeedStack, Sympa, Telosys, Waarp, WebLab and XWiki. \r
+OW2 was one of the exhibitors at FOSDEM in 2017, 2018 and 2020. \r
+In our experience, our stand operates as a focus for our members, contributors and anybody who wishes to reach out to us. As explained on our website, seven projects from our code base participated last year. Each project contributed in running our stand alternately during the two days of FOSDEM, making it a very busy and lively exhibition space. This year the virtual booth will again be shared between project leaders who will take turn to answer questions, chat with visitors and run project demonstrations.\r
+In 2021, OW2’s drive to contribute to the sustainability of the European open source ecosystem will be illustrated by two recently launched initiatives: one is the analysis of open source project’s Market Readiness Levels, the other the OW2 OSS Good Governance initiative a framework for appropriate usage of open source software.
+
+showcase: |
+ Visit OW2’s virtual stand and learn more about what OW2 is, discover an open and independent community of developers dedicated to the creation of new technology and to sustainable open source software. Find out why and how you could be involved, as a contributor, a project leader or an initiative stakeholder, or a supporter. \r
+\r
+OW2 project leaders will take turn to answer questions, chat with visitors and run project demonstrations. Check out the schedule of the OW2 virtual booth and come visit us, discuss with our projects leaders, and discover state-of-the-art technologies in various fields such as middleware, infrastructure projects, generic business applications, cloud computing platforms, etc. \r
+The OW2 Management Office will be on stand-by to explain OW2’s new strategic initiatives: open source project Market Readiness Initiatives and the OW2 OSS Good Governance initiative.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ We will be happy to showcase on OW2 virtual booth several new projects that have joined the OW2 code base during the passed year : OCS Inventory, Jeka, DECIDE, Fuyuko, Device Farmer, LDAP Toolbox. \r
+\r
+The virtual booth will also introduce two strategic initiatives recently launched by OW2 and new to FOSDEM in 2021: the analysis of open source project’s Market Readiness Levels, and the OW2 OSS Good Governance initiative, a framework for appropriate usage of open source software. These initiatives aim at contributing to the sustainability of the European open source ecosystem:\r
+ • Market Readiness Levels\r
+Applied to all 25 OW2 mature projects, the Market Readiness Levels scoring assesses the processes, key metrics and business resources of our open source projects and rates them on a market readiness scale similar to that of the NASA’s Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) rating. This synthetic approach has benefits for the developers as it provides them a blueprint for progressing, and for the users as it helps them make informed decision from a corporate rather than technical perspective. \r
+ • OSS Good Governance initiative \r
+This initiative addresses the needs of large end-users and digital service companies to better manage consumption of, and contribution to OSS. We will showcase the Open Source Good Governance Resource Center, a platform where EU users can discover, and a blueprint for implementing open source competency centers (aka OSPOs). The scope of the initiative goes beyond mere vulnerability and license compliance management, the initiative aims to make C-level executive aware of the benefits of open source and of supporting the European open source ecosystem.

The origins of PostgreSQL date back to 1986 as part of the POSTGRES project at the University of California at Berkeley and has more than 30 years of active development on the core platform.\r
+\r
+PostgreSQL has earned a strong reputation for its proven architecture, reliability, data integrity, robust feature set, extensibility, and the dedication of the open source community behind the software to consistently deliver performant and innovative solutions. PostgreSQL runs on all major operating systems, has been ACID-compliant since 2001, and has powerful add-ons such as the popular PostGIS geospatial database extender. It is no surprise that PostgreSQL has become the open source relational database of choice for many people and organisations.\r
+\r
+Getting started with using PostgreSQL has never been easier - pick a project you want to build, and let PostgreSQL safely and robustly store your data.
+

+ ReactOS is a modern open source operating system based on the Windows® XP/2003 design. It was written from scratch with the goal of full compatibility with Windows applications and drivers, as well as a similar user interface so that most users can find their way around immediately. The source code for the entire system is freely available under either the GNU GPL, BSD or similar license.\r
+\r
+ReactOS's unique ability to use applications and drivers developed for Windows® makes it the open source operating system with the broadest hardware and software support. In addition, it is based on the design of the NT kernel, which makes it scalable, portable and performant. In addition to the well-known Win32 support, this also enables other subsystems, for example POSIX, or the DOS/Win16 VDM, which is already under development.
+
+showcase: |
+ We are a one of a kind project aiming to recreate Windows® NT from ground up, cleanly and legally. All code is freely available for anyone to tinker with. We will show on our stand what was and is possible with our quite limited manpower and give a little insight to what can happen when a few developers are getting paid for a few months, how much the whole project can improve just by support on paid work base for a short time period. Of course we can and will try to answer all questions our visitors have regarding the project, the current status and what we will expect to happen soon. We have still some big improvements left to come soon and plan to show some of these live in a preview. We will show working real hardware, real Windows applications running and all with real Windows 3rd party closed source drivers being used. All on a FOSS Windows like system.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ A lot of work has been done in both kernel and user mode parts of ReactOS.\r
+User mode changes:\r
+- Filesystem notifications in shell\r
+- Many small UI polishing changes, like autocomplete text fields, "size on disk" label for file properties dialog\r
+- More work towards forward compatibility with recent Windows apps\r
+- ReactOS Applications manager (Rapps) enchancement (one of our GSoC projects):\r
+ Support for displaying screenshots, visual changes, command-line scripting improvements\r
+The most notable kernel changes are:\r
+- new storage stack, derived from open source Microsoft drivers. Offers compatibility with vendor-provided storage drivers, and other software,\r
+ GPT partitions support, SSD special commands, blu-ray drives and more\r
+- Compatibility improvements in Cache Controller subsystem and Memory Manager. Support for filesystem drivers for Windows improved a lot,\r
+ now "ntfs.sys" driver from Windows almost works and FAT driver works without issues\r
+- Plug and Play manager improvements, for better 3rd party driver support\r

+description: |
+ RefPerSys (see http://refpersys.org/ ...) is an open source symbolic artificial intelligence project (GPLv3+ licensed), for GNU/Linux only (actually computers running some GNU/Linux system with a x86-64 processor) This is work in progress... It should become a declarative programming language, some kind of sophisticated expert system shell.\r
+\r
+RefPerSys is an acronym for REFlexive PERsistent SYStem.\r
+\r
+It is REFlexive, since the software should be capable of introspection (with the help of the libbacktrace library)\r
+\r
+It is PERsistent, since the system is dumping most of its state at exit time, either in textual files or in databases. At startup time, the memory heap is reloaded from that state stored on disk.\r
+\r
+Hence, in normal operation, the RefPerSys system is continuously and organically growing.\r
+\r
+It is a software SYStem, and a dynamic one, since the system is generating more and more of its C++ source code. The long term goal is of course to generate all the C++ source code of the system from the persistent data.\r
+\r
+A major inspiration is the work of the late Jacques Pitrat (1934-oct.2019). See e.g. his blog on http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/
+
+showcase: |
+ A major idea of RefPerSys is its development model: it is hoped that more and more C++ code would be generated by RefPerSys itself (at dump time), and less and less hand-written code in C++ will remain in the system.\r
+\r
+An important long term goal (which will take years) is to generate most, and ideally all, the C++ code of RefPerSys at dump time. If possible, even to generate the shell scripts (etc...) to build the executable of RefPerSys from that C++ code.
+
+new_this_year: |

+ Teckids e.V. is a German association which provides a legal frame for three technological projects.\r
+We manage the project called "schul-frei", which aims to bring digitisation with free software to schools. We especially value the participation of youth in these projects, because they are the people which are affected by digitisation the most. Our educational concept is also based around the idea that young people should be judged by their abilities, not by age. They should learn to take responsibility and be independent.\r
+An example of this would be the AlekSIS project. It is (mostly) developed by adolescents from Teckids e.V. and from the school Katharineum zu Luebeck, where it is actively used. AlekSIS is a web-based school information system which can be used to manage and/or publish organisational subjects of educational institutions. It is also part of the schul-frei canon and uses the EUPL.\r
+We also present and provide support for solutions such as Moodle or BigBlueButton for E-Learning and debianedu/skolelinux with Nextcloud for school networks on our website https://schul-frei.org/en/index.html\r
+We set up comprehensive platforms for schools, education and youth institutions in time for the increased demand for online teaching. This has contributed to the fact that more education providers are interested in these solutions and that the various projects are gaining in reach

+ Besides the classic arguments for free software, there are many more for free software in education. For one thing, schools are independent of companies if they do without proprietary software. However, it should not be forgotten that closed software often discriminates against children and young people because of their age. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly demonstrate the advantages of FOSS to educational institutions. We are currently doing this by presenting free solutions in a bundle. In doing so, we have to offer the end user a solution that can compete with solutions from large companies. \r
+At our stand you can find out what our concept looks like in concrete terms and how you can support our project. We depend on the help of people who, with their experience or ideas, join us in the goal of being able to offer schools a good free alternative. As all our project work is open, everyone is invited to ask us questions and discuss ideas at the stand. Anyone who might even work in an educational institution themselves or know relevant people will learn first-hand at our stand how they can use free solutions in a school.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Since our last FOSDEM, some things have changed in part due to the corona pandemic. School closures related to the pandemic have meant that we have received many requests to use video conferencing solutions. This was an advantage for us in that we probably became a little bit better known during the school closures. \r
+Due to the high demand for video conferencing software, BigBlueButton was added to our software canon. BigBlueButton in combination with moodle could inspire many schools, which could either use a public instance of our association or got their own instance installed by us. \r
+Apart from social distancing, fundamental things in our project work have also changed. Now we are more open for external help and cooperation. Now all our projects were publicly visible at any time, but now we have a public chatroom where everyone can talk about our project. There everyone can contribute ideas, ask questionsMeet.in.One or just follow the project work. We hope that by opening the project to external people, our project will become more transparent and diverse. Hopefully, this will contribute over the future to making the actual goal of making free software popular in schools more tangible. \r
+One plan for the future is to add a new video conferencing solution to our canon that combines various free software components, which is called Meet.in.One. All the advantages of several conference tools should be combined in one solution. This bridge between the different solutions should of course be free and developed together with Teckids e.V. and other developers.

+logo: stands/sesame discovery/logo.png
+description: |
+ This stand will show off the open design of the Sesame Discovery chassis - allowing individuals, organizations, and companies to have an "datacenter in a box" in a desk side form factor. With the ability to plug in 4-12 nodes of scalable computing - the Discovery can be used in a variety of projects in any location without the need of a data center. From kubernetes to a blender render farm to medical research, the possibilities are endless. Imagine being able to run thousands of containers under 2000 watts?\r
+\r
+Visitors to the stand will also learn about the Open Compute Project (https://opencompute.org/) - a consortium of data center companies working in concert to build an open data center. The Discovery chassis will provide an open window how this project works and how we are building generic data centers with no vendor lock ins.\r
+\r
+Lastly, visitors can appreciate the role of the circular data center market segment. Not only can you build great computational power that you can plug into your home, lab, or classroom but the hardware is based on a supply chain of re-certified top tier data center components from first tier companies like Facebook and Google. By using this supply chain we can lower our carbon footprint because we are extending the life of valuable equipment that already exists rather than making new ones. The circular economy directly relies on open firmware and open hardware as part of its business.
+
+showcase: |
+ The Discovery project is a demonstration of what an ecosystem that consists of hardware companies, software companies, and the circular economy working in concert can do. Combining the collaboration of data center companies, with open system design, and open firmware, supplied by a carbon friendly supply chain of hardware components - the new data centers we build will be carbon friendly, avoid vendor lock-in, whose waste output can be re-purposed to provide heat and energy to neighborhoods and finally can scale from a home office or cubicle to the traditional computer room.\r
+\r
+Come to our stand to hear about the possibilities that can be achieved through juxtaposition of community, openness, and low carbon supply chain.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ The Discovery project has been in existence for about two years but is relatively new to the open source and open hardware community. In that time frame, in addition to the classic 5 port switch included in the chassis, we've added the ability to add a true 100GBE 32 port white box switch on the side panel. This will allow the ability to have even more nodes into chassis but also have a true data center networking all within the chassis.\r
+\r
+We have other active designs that are not associated with Discovery but part of a family of open designed chassis that we would also be sharing at the booth as well as exciting work with partners whose open software projects will be designed to work on our open hardware - from edge computing to Kubernetes to AI - come chat with us on what open hardware can do!

+description: |
+ Unikraft is a Linux Foundation project able to build extremely efficient and secure software stacks/unikernels. By tailoring the operating system, libraries and tools to the particular needs of each application, it vastly reduces virtual machine and container image sizes to a few KBs, drastically cutting down the software stack's attack surface. Our evaluation using off-the-shelf popular applications such as Nginx, SQLite, and Redis shows that running such applications on Unikraft results in a 30%-50% performance improvement compared to Linux guests. In addition, Unikraft images for these apps are around 1MB, require less than 10MB of RAM to run, and boot in around 1ms on top of the VMM time (total boot time 2ms-70ms). Finally, we are hard at work integrating Unikraft into standard frameworks such as Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry.
+
+showcase: |
+ If you run significant amount of services on public cloud infrastructure, you should come to our stand to find out how Unikraft can help you seamlessly debloat your deployments; for example, in recent experiments on AWS we have been able to cut costs by half when running NGINX compared to a Linux image. If you come from the automotive industry, Unikraft can act as a minimal guest that can provide POSIX-like functionality while providing a relatively cheap certification path. And if you work on IoT or edge cloud deployments, Unikraft can even run bare metal on ARM devices, providing substantial efficiency on such hardware-constrained devices.
+
+new_this_year: |
+ Since our last presentation at FOSDEM2020, in addition to growing the community, we have added a large amount of features to Unikraft:\r
+\r
+* Security features, including stack protection, ASAN, Intel MPK, etc.\r
+* Increasing POSIX support (140+ syscalls and counting), including support for standard applications (e.g., nginx, SQLite, Redis, etc.)\r
+* Native support for many programming languages and language environments: C++, Python/Micropython, Go, Lua, Web Assembly (WAMR), JavaScript (Duktape), Ruby and Rust (ongoing).\r
+* Network performance optimizations for KVM\r
+* Support for networking and performance optimizations for Xen\r
+* ARM64 bare metal support for the Raspberry Pi 3 and the Xilinx Ultra96-v2 boards\r
+* Page table support\r
+* Initial support for Amazon Firecracker\r
+* Cloud-based deployments (GCP, AWS, Digital Ocean)\r
+* Improvements to the ARM64 platform, including virtio and multi-thread support\r
+* Basic musl support\r
