If you are keen on attending next year's conference and require financial support, please consider applying for the "Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant" for 2026.

You can do this by contacting the board before February 1st, 2026, stating who you are, what you are doing with BSD (😈⛳🐡), and why you should receive the grant.

This grant is in recognition Paul's accomplishments and in memory of his work and dedication to the BSD community, the EuroBSDCon Foundation is offering a travel grant in his name.

Paul was one of the few - if not the only one - to have attended all EuroBSDCon conferences since their inception in 2001. Besides his many contributions to BSD in general and the EuroBSDCon conferences in particular, he established the EuroBSDCon Foundation in 2010 to ensure continuity for many more conferences.

The EuroBSDCon Foundation Board will consider all valid submissions in its sole discretion and communicate its selection by March 2026. The selected person will receive travel expense reimbursement and hotel accommodation during the conference as well as free entrance to the conference and social event.

More information can be found on: https://eurobsdconfoundation.org/travel-grant.html

The 2026 edition will be held in Brussels, Belgium.

I'm still writing my 'memoirs' of EuroBSDCon 2025. It's difficult to move forward because the emotions are strong. Computer science has always been my passion, and being among fantastic people like those I meet at the BSD Conferences is always something incredible. And, like all impactful experiences, you often need a little time to avoid sounding like those TV hucksters who are just trying to sell or convince.
Because true, genuine feelings deserve the right importance, in a world increasingly made up of appearances.

I sure ain't @bsdtv but doing the numbers for a sponsor... our full camera/streamer package that cost around $5000 has been used at:

EuroBSDcon 2024
OpenZFS Summit 2024
BSDCan 2025
EuroBSDcon 2025
OpenZFS Summit 2025

That's $1000 per event and dropping with every use! (Not everyone understands that concept and we're doing our best to explain it.)

Our second package and a half have been used at:

BSDCan 2025
EuroBSDcon 2025

These two events were our first ALL-ATEM (mixer/streamer) events which makes for higher-quality results and an easier experience for the volunteer operators.

Ping me if you want help keep A/V costs down through strategic purchases!

Hi @EuroBSDCon

I just published the pictures I took during the EuroBSDCon 2025 event in Zagreb, Croatia.

Enjoy :)

I have uploaded the slides for my #EuroBSDCon2025 #ebc25 talk about creating products with #NetBSD (and why I chose NetBSD in the first place)

NYC*BUG social meeting start of thread:

Talking shop and catching up after @EuroBSDCon and @bhyvecon

Back home from #EuroBSDCon2025 and my first time visiting EuroBSDCon.

What a fantastic event! Thanks to everyone who helped to organize, speak, record or otherwise make it happen!

I'll certainly be back next year in Brussels. :)

Another @EuroBSDCon goes into the record books with:
- 100% slide capture
- streaming to both Peertube @ Youtube
( Many thanks to @h3artbl33d )
In fact the conference had a distinct Fediverse vibe with @stefano and @h3artbl33d talk and Christos Margiolis with Re-decentralizing the Internet with BSD

And all it took was 2 dead HDMI cables, 1 keynote room switch, some early Sunday morning light building AV system hacking and a lost voice. We never did find out what was behind that blast door. ( I hear it's dusty storage, but have imagined something much more interesting) Bojan went above a beyond. Including some lozenges that helped me recover enough to be heard.

We are pleased to announce at the @EuroBSDCon closing session that #BSDCan 2026 will take place June 17th - 20th in Ottawa, Canada.

See you there!

Next year in #brussels - #eurobsdcon 2026:
