Hi @karenchu, happy to help.
Local in Belgium (not directly Brussels) if that can be useful.

:waving_hand: 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 :christmas_tree: :partying_face:

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! :slight_smile:

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?
