We blogged back in January<\/a> about the 2015 conference season being kicked off by FOSDEM<\/a> and SCALE<\/a> this February. Both have come and gone, but and we wanted to share some of the enthusiasm we encountered around ownCloud at these events!<\/p>\n

FOSDEM and SCALE<\/h2>\n

Let’s start by introducing the two conferences we attended. FOSDEM (usually the first weekend in February) and SCALE (held around the 3rd weekend of the month) are the two biggest Open Source enthusiast events in Europe and the USA respectively, attracting anywhere between four and six thousand visitors to each event. The two events are very different, however. Where FOSDEM takes place at the ULB Solbosch university<\/a> and has no registration whatsoever, SCALE takes place at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport<\/a> and charges an entry fee. Also, while FOSDEM honors its title as the „Developer (European) Meeting“ and features independently organized dev rooms, just a few centrally organized talk tracks, and booths spread out all over, the ‚Linux Expo‘ usually has about a dozen tracks–organized by the paper committee–and two large exhibition rooms with booths. Both events are growing more popular each year and are offering exciting programs for a varied, yet loyal audience.<\/p>\n

Both FOSDEM and SCALE video record all of the talks, so they can be streamed later. SCALE streams the videos<\/a> directly on their website, while FOSDEM has a video archive<\/a> that dates back several years. Even though the videos provide a certain view on the talks, the atmosphere of the rest of the venue can be best experienced from a photo collection site such as flickr. Click the following links to view the pictures from FOSDEM<\/a> and SCALE<\/a>. In this post you can also see a small selection of photos as well as a time-lapse video of our Saturday morning at the ownCloud booth at SCALE featured below.<\/p>\n
