The combined KDE/Amarok booth and developer room at the annual Free and Open Source Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM) in Brusssels was a great experience (as usual!). Many people showed up from the KDE and Amarok communities, and we had a hard time fitting all our cool hardware and people in the booth. Luckily, the talks drew quite a crowd, and the booth became less busy as the day progressed. Read on for an overview of FOSDEM 2008 from the KDE perspective.

FOSDEM started out with a large group of KDE and Amarok people working like crazy to get the booth set up. We had all kinds of weird (and more standard) hardware, from a KDE-branded SUN-based thin client and a small VIA box, to large and small monitors connected to laptops - and all of it running KDE, in some cases the bleeding edge of development (destined to become KDE 4.1). Meanwhile, the Amarok people showed off their latest work on Amarok, with an appearance of their Mascot, Mike, who came in from the woods to ‘Rok with the crowd.
