Talk Juice with Hugo at FOSDEM 2026

28-01-2026

On Saturday, Hugo Kerstens will be attending FOSDEM 2026, taking place in Brussels 31 January to 1 February. He can be found in and around the Python devroom, where he’ll be happy to chat, answer questions, and discuss the open-source release of OrangeQS Juice.

Hugo has also submitted a proposal for a lightning talk for a short introduction and sneak peek into OrangeQS Juice. As lightning talk slots are limited and reviewed close to the event, this talk is not guaranteed.Keep an eye on the schedule just in case.

About FOSDEM
FOSDEM is a two-day, free and non-commercial event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. Widely recognised as one of the leading open source conferences in Europe, FOSDEM brings together developers and communities from around the world.

The event provides a space to:

Connect with fellow developers and open source projects
Stay up to date with the latest developments in free and open source software
Discover new ideas, tools, and technologies shaping the open source ecosystem
Attend talks and presentations by project leaders, maintainers, and contributors
Support and promote the growth and benefits of free and open source solutions

Lightning Talks at FOSDEM Python Devroom
Lightning talks are short, focused presentations with a maximum duration of five minutes and should be Python-related. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis up until the evening before each session (Friday evening for Saturday sessions and Saturday evening for Sunday sessions).

During the review process, some priority may be given to entertaining and lighthearted talks, while ensuring a balanced programme across topics.

Participation is completely free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorships helping to support the event.
