Dear colleagues, the largest* FLOSS conference is coming up - this year online, instead of in Brussels, as it was traditionally happening... The first weekend of February, 5th & 6th: https://fosdem.org/2022/ There are many many interesting talks, and I am highlighting some which are more relevant for this *and* _other_ RIPE Working groups. Share & Enjoy!
