The vast majority of events (talks, hacking sessions, open discussions) are held inside “developer rooms” (“devrooms”), which are mini-conferences organized and managed by open source projects themselves.

Actually going this year. Have wanted to for many. Really looking forward to it.
Which talks are y’all looking forward to?
Since that whole vibe-coded Cloudflare Matrix nonsense and associated attempted retcon – see here for context – I am looking forward to a talk on how Matrix actually works.
Specifically, I’d like to know what aspects of a secure, decentralized message platform are particularly hard. That’s in the context of whether Matrix can ever grow into a bona fide Signal competitor (nb: Signal remains the gold standard), and also whether Matrix would function well as a Discord replacement, even if it doesn’t have as strong of group chat privacy and encryption protections.
Will they finally be uploading their talks to peertube? Or will I need to use YouTube again?
