Hello everyone! We’ll be planning a Swift community event as a Fringe event for FOSDEM ‘26 – so please mark your calendars for 
Fri Jan 30 ! More details to come so stay tuned and check back in on this thread for more details.
Additionally, if anyone is interested in volunteering/helping out, let me know here.
Hi @karenchu, happy to help.
Local in Belgium (not directly Brussels) if that can be useful.
I’m so so excited to finally share what we’ve been cooking up! 
Swift is showing up in full force at FOSDEM! The community will be hosting a Swift Pre-FOSDEM Community Event on Fri 30 Jan (12- 6 PM) AND we have a number of Swift talks at FOSDEM across various devrooms.
Check out our Swift Pre-FOSDEM Community Event website for the latest details on:
Swift Pre-FOSDEM Community Event ‘26
Swift Talks @ FOSDEM
Please reach out to @fosdem-fringe if you have any questions! & please help us get the word out. Hoping to see some friendly faces next month! 
Hello, everyone.
I'm glad to see this activity, but I may not be able to go to the site to participate in this activity, so I want to know how to participate in this activity online and whether there is a relevant entrance. Thank you.

Bumping this thread for visibility before the holiday break 
Happy holidays everyone!
While we hope you’ll take plenty of rest till the new year – it’s also a great time to submit talk proposals to the Swift Pre-FOSDEM Community Event Call for Papers, so if you’re sitting on some talk ideas, or even if you’d just like to attend, please check the event website earlier rather than save it to the last minute in January!
Thank you and enjoy a well deserved rest! 
I'm looking forward to participating at my first FOSDEM event and looking forward to meeting everyone!
Hi there! Unfortunately, this will just be held in person. We’re looking into options for recording the presentations though so stay tuned.
Thanks
ICYMI – we published the talk schedule last week! Swift @ FOSDEM 2026
We’re almost at capacity so be sure to RSVP ASAP to save your spot.
Hi, I’m very excited about the conference! Happy to help in anything before / during the conference.
Thanks for a great event! Lots of interesting presentations.
I would like to share some of them with people that weren’t able to make it. Will the recordings be uploaded somewhere?
It looks like (some of) the videos can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@SwiftMeetups
The videos for the talks given at the main FOSDEM event are now also available. Just use the overview here, and click on the talk titles: Swift @ FOSDEM 2026
This was an awesome event! Well organized, great (related) talks, delicious food and enough time to chat in breaks and afterwards.
What I especially liked was the focus on general Swift “the language” topics and applications of Swift in “new” areas. And have I mentioned the Swift jackets and beanies yet?! 
Thanks to the organizers and attendees! Looking forward to what’s up next year … 
Really enjoyed the event! Great talks. Great to see/meet fellow Swift users!
I thoroughly enjoyed this, despite arriving in Brussels on a red-eye only 2 hours in advance. The organization of the event was flawless, and my Swift on Android talk went very smoothly.
It was great to meet face-to-face with many of the developers I've been working with over the years, and to see such an enthusiastic and diverse audience gathered there demonstrates that Swift's influence and mindshare is quickly expanding.
I think we should definitely have more events like this, either conference-adjacent or stand-alone.
