openSUSE project @ FOSDEM 2008

The eighthFree and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (commonly known as FOSDEM) took place during the last week-end (23&24) of February 2008 in the city of Brussels, Belgium. It's an annual 2-day event hosting talks, tutorials, and booth for the free software/open source community. It is organized by volunteers at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. Access to all parts of FOSDEM is free of charge (but donations and sponsors are welcome to help fund the event).

The openSUSE project participated at FOSDEM with the openSUSE 'DevRoom' (Developer Room) and a small booth. For videos of the talks at FOSDEM, see below.
