Next week I’ll be heading off to Brussels to attend FOSDEM 2009.

I’m excited to be able to make it to such a popular event like this. I would have claimed that my old home town would never host any distinguished geek events, however, Hobart recently just hosted Linux.conf.au (which I unfortunately missed out on since I’m on the other side of the world).

This year at FOSDEM I’m particularly eager to attend talks on:

• Debian
• In the BSD+PostgreSQL developer room: replication and what’s coming up in PostgreSQL 8.4.
• Augeas (and if there happens to be any talk about Puppet, I’m there!)
• Ext4
• MySQL
• Of course, the Friday Beer Event
• And much more…

I’m also looking forward to seeing some small snippets of Brussels, as it’ll be one of the rare occasions where I actually leave the house on the weekend, and the first time I’ve left London since I arrived here.

Bring on the Belgian beer!
