+# FOSDEM 2025: Gnomes Spotted

+
+This past weekend, members of the gno.land team traveled to Brussels for FOSDEM
+2025, one of the world’s largest and most influential open-source gatherings. 
+This year marked FOSDEM’s 25th anniversary, drawing over 5,000 developers, 
+engineers, and enthusiasts from across the globe.
+
+Attending FOSDEM was inspiring, a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when 
+people collaborate in a free, transparent, and open way. The depth of knowledge 
+shared, the engaging discussions, and the sheer diversity of topics, from robotics
+and simulations to the Go ecosystem, highlight the incredible breadth of 
+open-source innovation, and what’s possible when people build together. It went
+beyond code, FOSDEM was a first-hand experience to witness the global community
+driven by a shared ethos.
+
+## FOSDEM meets Gno
+
+This year was particularly special for us, as we introduced gno.land to the 
+FOSDEM community for the first time. During the Go lightning talks, Manfred 
+Touron distilled the essence of Gno in just a few minutes, explaining why Gno,
+the Gno paradigm, and how Go developers can easily start building with it. And 
+simply put, what we’re building...
+
+```
+we're building a user-owned internet
+where governance is fair,
+development is open,
+and innovation is rewarded.
+```
+
+See the full presentation [here](https://gnolang.github.io/workshops/presentations/2025-02-01--fosdem--manfred/presentation.slide.html).
+
+## Bridging Open Source and Web3
+
+Web3 often meets skepticism in traditional open-source circles, but gno.land’s 
+100% open-source engineering bridges that gap. Throughout the weekend, we saw
+direct connections between our work and key topics at FOSDEM, from governance 
+models and Byzantine Fault Tolerance to consensus algorithms and the challenges 
+of sustaining open-source projects. These are issues that extend beyond web3
+and resonate with the broader open-source community.
+
+A special thanks to all the organizers, presenters, and volunteers that made 
+FOSDEM 2025 possible, and the opportunity to access information freely. See 
+you next year!
