 one-third I think. Okay, we will short introduce FOSM. The video that you've just seen was some impressions of speakers of how they perceive FOSM and everything. But so if we do a query on the domain, which is of course what matters. So FOSM stands for the free and open source software European developers meeting. And this year we will have more than 300 talks by more than 280 speakers, which will be amazing and a new record. Now what makes FOSM special but are many things, but one of the things is that it's entirely organized by volunteers. So all the people you see running around in yellow t-shirts, they've been working at it for months, weeks, and nobody's paid to do this. Yeah, all for free software of course. Now FOSM was created ten years ago. So the first edition was three and four February in 2000. So today we're 2010. And let me quickly check who was here also during the first edition. Can you can you raise your hand? One, two, three. Yeah. All right. Now let's go back to that first year. Thanks to modern technology, we can easily go back. And so the archive, the way it has a copy of February 5th. So let's check it out. And it is a beautiful web page, especially notice the logo. It is a high definition of a beastie, penguin, gnue animal. So it started and we were called Osdem those days. And let me point to a nice little detail here on this page. So apparently the first edition by singing the free software song all together. Okay, let's go. So in 2002, thank you for your back machine. This is how our website looked like. I think it's very 2002, especially notice the beautiful bear. It could have been posted on, what was it? Well, it's beautiful anyway. Okay. So 2003, we wisely changed to more modern. This is what it looked like in 2004. We didn't have a lot of inspiration. Kind of stick to it. Or maybe if I use a failover. Right. So in 2004, same website again. Then 2005. And then actually, well, it's hard to read. But the web server crashed and we lost our data. Great. So we thought it was a good start for a new website. And so in 2007, new website, new data. And then it changed again in 2008. And, well, that's the same theme that we're still using. So 2009. And this year, it's 2010. This is where we at. Now, what if we never changed our name? What if we would be called Osdem today? Well, luckily the way back machine also allows you to visit parallel universes and everything. And so if we would be called Osdem, right. Okay. Is she maybe sitting here somewhere or no? No. Okay. Well, that was a kind of interesting history of Fossism, the websites, but they're also probably the things you came for tracks and talks. As you probably know, for two thirds of everyone, we have different types of lectures. The first of all, six main tracks. These main tracks are held in the two biggest rooms. This one and one on the other side. These are the six main track lectures. And there are also three keynotes, two keynotes this morning. And one keynotes on Sunday evening about kernel hacking and kernel drivers, et cetera. We also have more than 20 developer rooms. Those are really, really technical lectures. Most of them, at least 30 plus lightning talks. That's 15 minutes timed with timer. So if the speaker tries to go one second longer, the microphone shuts down and the timer just buzz. So it's a little, if you give a lightning talk, be aware of that. And we don't want to shame you in front of everyone. While working around in the H building, this building in the AW, the other building outside, there are also many stands. Be there, we'll talk with people. That's why you are here and not following the conference using video streaming or something. This map is also in the information brochure. You can get at the info desk. The info desk should be here in this building. We are currently in the Jansson. Something interesting to know is that on Sunday afternoon, we will have two fuzzdom buses driving you from this place there where Strum ridden to the Brussels south train station. Approximately every 25 minutes, a bus of 150 people can drive to the train station. So it drives up to eight o'clock, I think. So don't hesitate to stay a little longer if you can and enjoy the talks. But let's take our way back machine again and look at this lecture in 2001. Who can recognize the room? Yeah, one. You were there? You were really following that lecture? So you know the speaker? Richard Stallman, indeed. And you probably also recognize his halo? It's not a disk. It's a halo, but it was a disk in a previous life, of course. Everyone knows that. Richard was one of the very well-known speakers who was at our first fuzzum conference. And we really thank him for that. And, well, the room still hasn't changed, of course. That's the ULB. But we also thank the ULB because we can get almost all the rooms for almost nothing. So without them, we couldn't organize this conference for free. And, yeah. So this is again, yeah, the picture of this auditorium almost full. Of course, more people are coming to see Richard's than myself. But here he stands in front of the crowds trying to convert the already converted. Okay, we have more than talks, people. There's also more activities where you can participate in actively and stuff. There's like key signing. Well, you'd have to be registered on the beforehand. But if you see a long queue of people standing in front of each other reading... That's probably the key signing party so you know where to go. Buffroom. So you can find a list in the AW building. It's marked in the brochure also where exactly on one door of one room where you can schedule birds of a feather meeting for 15 minutes or 30 minutes, maximum 45 minutes each for a project or for a meeting for whatever with a group of people that you want to have a meeting with. There's a hacker rooms. There's two. There's one in the main corridor over here, in the middle of the main corridor up the stairs where you came from probably. And one in the AW building. There are certifications, exams for LPI, BSD, Type 03. So quite a few other things than just booths, death rooms, talks to listen to. So this is a beautiful picture of the key signing in the last year I think. So it will be on Sunday in case you registered and this is what it tends to look like a long queue of a lot of people. There is a room scheduled for the key signing. I know that there will be more than 130 people I think. So the plan is to fit them inside if possible. If it's too difficult then a fail-back of outside will be done again. But the good thing though, this year it's not as cold as last year. Maybe, who has a network device right here? Probably almost everyone with those smartphones. You know from the history that in the past, well, we didn't like to talk about the network subject. So it's a nice weather outside. Fortunately in 2008 there was a change. We bought some WRT devices, some 3-com access points and had a quite stable network. But the whole network was segmented in different micro-nets. Last year Cisco proposed to help. Around Sunday the network was stable because it's still quite a serious job. And around the top moments we had 700 simultaneous users, which is also quite a lot. But this year we thought, well, we can do better of course. Better means 800 meters of fiber, 1 gigabit internet uplink inside around almost two kilometers of fiber. We have 18,000 public IPv4 addresses. So every device that is on the network gets a public IPv4. Be careful if you have an iPhone that is not patched. But that's your own fault then. And 18,000 plus IPv4. Did someone say there is a shortage? I read last, no, two weeks ago there is only 10% left. I think we have 1% of that 10% for the conference. But we also have IPv6. You will notice on the splash page that FOSDEM logo on the, I'm not sure about URL, but the FOSDEM wireless splash page, there's a logo blinking if you are using IPv6. I didn't count the number of IPv6 addresses, but we surely have enough. The SSIDs of course FOSDEM. And right now, and even one or two hours ago, the network was stable and working. There are also some nice statistics you can see online about the usage of the network. So that's really a good point though. But yesterday we weren't very happy honestly. We laid those 800 meters of fiber and while testing it, it didn't work of course. What else? You're organizing conference with an internet uplink of one gigabit and don't have a backup. Well, your backup is 10 megabit half theplex. Is that an option for 3,600 people? No, not really. So out of six strains, we had one strain working. Those who know how fiber works know that you need two strains. So fortunately again, those ULB ICT staff were there and they helped us resupply the cable yesterday evening. So that's finally worked. You might also have noticed we had quite a panic moment when yesterday we realized we had only 5 gigahertz antennas. But fortunately the Cisco guys went back to their office at 1 a.m. and found a box of 102.4 gigahertz antennas. So everything is really fine. We are starting to panic because everything is fine. There must be something that isn't working. So what's the most important thing for a hacker's brain to function? I ask you. It's food, of course. Food, which is why we start every Fosnum event with taking care of the food in fluid form, of course. So we started out very small. We were a few more the next year. A bit more the next year. And, well, yeah. Okay. But enough about this beer event. Let's talk about actual food. Food. Food. Food. Okay. Right. We also have it in other forms. Not so fluid. There's two bars. There's one in addition to the two last years, one bar underneath the auditorium over here. There is one up here. There's burgers and fries in the main street. You walked in through presumably over here. We've also doubled the capacity of those. And so you shouldn't have to starve. Your brain should be okay. You should be able to function, I think. Right. Money. Money. We need shitloads of money. I said before the conference wouldn't be organisable for free because there are a lot of costs, not only security people, security staff, hardware insurance, transportation of speakers, hotels of speakers, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So we usually thank our sponsors. Thank you. A good thing, though, sponsors don't have anything to say about the programme. We refuse sponsorship if they tend to say we want to give a lecture. Eventually, you will notice that some sponsors are giving lectures. But usually it's more, hi, would you like to give a lecture at FOSM? Yeah, sure. Nice. Hey, do you want us to sponsor you? How much money do you have? That's the way how it goes. Of course, the usual sponsors come back at us and ask us, yeah, same deal as last year. We say, yeah, thank you. Okay. Done. So, yeah, again, thank you to all the sponsors. But without the sponsors, we still don't have enough money. So we still, for more than 30 per cent, need the donations to thank you for all the donations we give things in return. Here's a simple table. There are some draws, and the more money you give, the more chance you get to win things. The donations draw, the presents will be given on Sunday during the donation talk. That is scheduled just before the last lecture of Greg about Colonel Drivers. Okay. On to the last point. The mythical FOSDEM dance. Who has seen the FOSDEM dance before? Yeah, yeah, that's okay. And is there somebody who knows the history of the FOSDEM dance? Nobody? Maybe too shy? Okay. Let's take a look at the beginning of the FOSDEM dance, which was in 2006. So we have two of the original organisers here on the picture. Raphael and Damien. And so it all started out with them. Back in the days when an opening stock was done without slides or anything like that, and you just went on stage and told the story. And so the story that they were telling was that Damien was running late for something. Of course. I mean, there's plenty of things to run late for here at FOSDEM. And he was explaining why he was late. And he said, yeah, I was doing things and over there and stuff. And then I had to run. And I had to run. And I had to run. And well, that's basically how the FOSDEM dance originated. So this was in 2001. Now, because this dance was so beautiful in 2007, we did it again in a bit larger numbers. 2008 again, even larger numbers. And then last year, in 2009. Now, this year, it's 2010. So the question is, what will we do this year? Should we do the FOSDEM dance again? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But of course, it is our 10th anniversary, right? So we should celebrate actually, that is our 10th anniversary, right? No, that's for the French speaking. That's not an option. No, what we had in mind is that we would just do the FOSDEM dance altogether. Or we could of course also sing the free software song. No? So I propose that we will all do it here together. Maybe first we will give a little demonstration, a proper demonstration as a warm up so that you can fully acquire how it looks like, what the moves are and everything. And then we're going to ask everybody to come here on the stage all together so that we can celebrate our 10th anniversary by doing the FOSDEM dance together. Okay, but first a little demonstration. Do know that we will probably enter the Guinness Book of Records of a conference with the most dancing people. Right. This is serious. No humor, please. Okay. So maybe some more of the stuff for the demonstration. Maybe I can play the air hostess that is in the airplane explaining how to put the safety jacket on, etc. Yes. You just put yourself open your two legs approximately at a similar distance. Take your two arms next to you. Left your right leg. And then do like you're walking or running. That's it. So it's not really difficult, honestly. So now just close that laptop for who has a laptop open and come over here. Yeah. Just to be clear, there's no way to walk outside of this room without coming here. Yes. All the doors should be closing right now. Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on, people. So we're going to take pictures. So don't worry. There's no excuses. Come on, guys. Just come on. Come on the stage. Come in front, please. For the 10th edition. Let's dance. Come on, guys. You guys are already sitting in the right position to those who are sitting behind. We do not forget you. I just confirmation that the doors are closed. So please stand up. You won't be able to properly say that you were at FOSDEM 2010 and less you were at that stage doing the FOSDEM dance with everybody. So get up and join us. Come on. Join us. It's normal that the stage is too small. Some of the rooms are too. So just get a little bit closer. We can all fit. Is this not a conference where people like to talk and meet each other? This is a way to meet each other while dancing. There's still room in here, people. Don't be shy, really. Don't be. The camera is still running, by the way. So this will be all on video.FOSDEM.org and on the common video sites like YouTube. Come on, guys. Just don't be shy. Don't be shy. Okay. That seems quite a number of people. We do understand that some geeks are rather shy, but even in such a crowd, nobody will recognize you. All right. Some more people deciding. Are some people still interested? Come join us. Okay. So Tios, I think we're just packing up. Keep a safe distance. You don't want to kill the geek behind you. Okay, so now just spread your legs. Not too far away, of course. Equal distance. Equal distance. Put your arms at your sides. Lift the right leg up. I see many people with their hands in their pockets. Yeah, hands out of the pockets on the side, please. You have to use your arms. Lift the right leg up. Up that right leg up, up, up, up. I should see only one foot everywhere here. Okay, and run. Yeah. Thank you. Use applause for this crowd. Thank you. And enjoy the conference. All right. Thank you, everybody. Fosem has officially started. There is a first lecture coming up in a few minutes. It's about open source in large companies.
