Upcoming Events: CEC, Flock, and DevConf.cz

May 31, 2025

In the coming couple of weeks I’ll be heading to the Common Europe Congress (CEC2025), Flock 2025, and DevConf.cz 2025, some of the best community-driven events in the ecosystem. If you’re around, let’s catch up and share stories over coffee!

Common Europe Congress 2025 (Gothenburg, June 2–4)

The Common Europe Congress is the largest educational convention for IBM Power users in Europe. This year it’s taking place at the Gothia Towers in Gothenburg, Sweden. I’ll be there from June 2nd through the 4th, and I have two sessions lined up:

DevConf 2020

January 27, 2020 - Brno, CZ

As it happened at other times in my life, I managed to be present at DevConf. DevConf is one of the best conferences that I attend. The reasons are many and varied, starting from the location that I find relatively stress-free. Another reason is the fact that there are many different kinds of sessions, and many sessions are not overcrowded, so it is relatively simple to participate in any session you would like to.

DevConf 2017

January 29, 2017 - Brno, CZ

I think this is a special moment of the year, where in less than two weeks is possible to meet a huge amount of Open Source contributors in person. Obviously you will need to take few flights, but it’s definitely worth.

DevConf this year was great. I’ve been able to assist to a huge amount of talks (more than 20) and the majority of which were very interesting.

As always in conferences, there are themes heavily discussed and other completely absent. This year at DevConf (like in many others conferences) containers are a very big topic. The other big topic (related, but different) was Modularization, an approach Fedora is trying to

DevConf - day 4

February 8, 2016 - Brno, CZ

My last day at Brno has come, and I took the bus to Wien Airport, where I later got a plane to Milan.

Overall, this was a very nice experience. I’ve met a lot of very interesting people and a lot of people I already knew but only by their IRC and FAS name. It’s always nice to be able to give faces to the names you always read.

I really look forward for the next Fedora Event that probably it will be Flock 2016 for me.

DevConf - day 3

February 7, 2016 - Brno, CZ

Today there were a lot of Fedora talks and sadly I was not able to see them all since there were two Fedora tracks.

The most interesting talk I’ve assisted today was probably the Denise Dumas and Matthew Miller one about Fedora.

Being the last day of the conference, it ended earlier so we (EMEA Ambassadors) were able to gather and meet to work a little bit on the 2017 budget. This was still pending because this year we were not able to meet at the usual FAD designed to make decisions for the Ambassadors budget.
