Join the Ariel OS community for an informal BoF session where maintainers, contributors, and anyone interested in hearing more about Ariel OS will be discussing the latest. - Feedback: What works for you and what does not. Where can we do better. - Roadmap: Where do we go from here - Challenges: Where do you see issues and challenges along the way.

 "Raw video, colour grading, video processing" ( 2026 )

Saturday at 12:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Maroš Grego

A meetup for people interested in FOSS solutions for processing the videos from the raw data captured by the camera sensors (in formats such as Magic Lantern Video, CinemaDNG, CanonRaw).

 "BoF: Dracut" ( 2026 )

Saturday at 15:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Benjamin Drung

Dracut is an event driven initrd infrastructure. It is used as default initrd generator in many Linux distributions. Ubuntu and Debian will make it the default as well.

This is a BoF for all people interested in talking about Dracut. Come to this BoF in case you want to talk to the upstream/downstream maintainer(s) of Dracut in person.

 "Friendly Functional Languages Show and Tell" ( 2026 )

Saturday at 16:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Giacomo

Are you building something cool with a friendly functional programming language? Bring your projects for a laid-back show and tell session! We'll look at real-world code in languages like Gleam, OCaml, Elm, Kotlin, and other functional languages that emphasize type safety without unnecessary complexity.

Share a piece of code you're proud of, a thorny problem you solved elegantly, or simply come to see how others are using functional programming to build practical things. We'll explore patterns that work well across different languages and discuss how type systems and functional features help us write more reliable software.

Whether you're a functional programming enthusiast or just curious about these languages, join us for an interactive session focused on real projects and practical experiences. No deep theory required - just genuine examples and friendly discussion about building things that work.

This is a participatory session - if you have a project to share, great! If not, come with your questions and curiosity. We're happy to meet you!

 "NetworkManager meetup" ( 2026 )

Saturday at 17:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Beniamino Galvani

Join us for the NetworkManager meetup at FOSDEM 2026 to share your ideas, provide feedback or simply meet other users. There is no fixed agenda, so please bring your own topics.

 "WebGPU: Melting your computer in the post-american era" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 09:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference RaulPPelaez

I used to write a lot of open source CUDA 5-10 years ago. Now that NVIDIA lost interest in us poor consumer plebs, my software has a more expensive entry barrier. That is why I write WebGPU these days, the same code can melt my laptop and my phone. Its great. Come and lets burn some chips. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebGPU

 "CVMFS install party + adoption Q&A" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 10:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Andriy Utkin

Get help in understanding and setting up CVMFS, a highly scalable network filesystem.

The session is initiated by a contributor to CVMFS. Core maintainers of CVMFS may be joining us.

Developers and adopters of other Software Defined Storage technologies are also welcome to join and lead their discussions.

 "TRANS*FEMINIST SERVER SESSION" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 11:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference ooooo

TRANS*FEMINIST SERVER SESSION - a shellscript session to update and configure our feminist networks, meet each other, find solidarities and alliances in computing.

As a daemon we want to learn about switch mode in tinc or vpn software to use wake up on lan (WOL) to switch on our backup server.

 "Environmental Sensors and Operational Applications" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 12:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Zaven Arra

Let’s discuss open source environmental sensing and operational open source monitoring platforms for ecosystem restoration, resource sustainability, and pollution. We can look at some open source examples in groundwater flow monitoring, greenhouse gas emissions, and reforestation.

Low cost environmental monitoring is needed to ensure paths forward for sustainable ecosystems and life ways through ever-increasing industrial utilization of the earth system. However, proprietary and high cost solutions limit access to and deployment of monitoring systems, slowing community responses and restoration engineering. Operational open source environmental platforms facilitate community driven initiates to meet these needs long term.

 "WoodpeckerCI User Meetup" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 13:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference 6543

Meet and chat what's currently going on. How to solve problems with WoodpeckerCI. Get new ideas and feedback.

Just chat :)

 "Open Buro: Integrating applications to create a Smart Platform Experience" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 14:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Benjamin Andre

In the competition with Microsoft 365, FOSS solutions suffer from an architectural limitation : a simple SSO does not create a platform...

To offer a true Smart Platform Experience around the mail, we must go beyond silos solutions and build deep, consistent, cross-functional integration between independent services.

The aim of this BOF room is to foster discussions & ideas to see what could be such a "standard" : both the technical and governance subjects will be discussed.

It is the extension of the conference : Open Buro: Integrating applications to create a Smart Platform Experience

Based on the integration of DINUM's LaSuite into Twake.AI, we will analyze what is missing to offer a “Smart Platform Experience”: a standardized cross-functional layer that brings together independent services.

Samuel Paccoud, director of lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr, will comment this integration and the perspectives he identifies.

We will see how such a standard can enable a modular ecosystem, where each application remains independent but can interoperate deeply, forming a credible and sustainable sovereign workplace. This is the mission of the Open Buro consortium: to create an open foundation where architecture becomes a political act.

 "GUI apps with Go" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 15:00, 55 minutes, UA4.222, UA4.222, BOF/Unconference Andrew Williams

There is so much happening with graphics in Go now, and it’s all open source 😎. Let’s chat about projects and frameworks. I come with apps and also knowledge of the Fyne toolkit (https://fyne.io) but the discussion is open to all.
