I’ll be at FOSDEM i Bruxelles next weekend and would love to chat with other Ardour users. Especially anyone who does podcasting/radio work with Ardour.

Music Production devroom @ FOSDEM 2026

Hi all, I’m Lorenzo, and together with Steven Goodwin, I’m one of the managers of the newly formed “Music Production” devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM event in Brussels (and an avid Ardour user, as you can see from the tracks I usually post to the Made with Ardour subsection!). I’m not sure how many of you are aware of FOSDEM or know what it is, but in a nutshell it’s the biggest event in Europe completely devoted to free and open source software: it’s completely free to attend, and it hosts doz…

@Lindisfarne before the Music Production devroom that Robin mentioned, there will be (same room) the AVG devroom (Audio Video Graphics), and the last couple of talks will indeed be on podcasting. Here’s the schedule for both sessions (check Sunday)

FOSDEM 2026 - UA2.220 (Guillissen)

[Lindisfarne]

Thanks I already knew about that one, since I’m one of the speakers on FOSDEM 2026 - How to do a Podcast with Free Software? - Ardour WILL be mentioned

Hope to meet some fellow ardour-podcast nerds around there or on the saturday
I will happily buy @x42 a beer or Club Mate or whatever to say THANK YOU for the fabulous LUFS-meter he’s made, if he’ll be there

Many thanks! I hadn’t seen that post when I wrote mine (even though I thought I checked), so sorry for “double posting” on this subject. Sadly that track collides with my needing to get back to Denmark to be in time for work the next day.

BUT the meetup suggested by @Eamonn_Tobin sounds great Hope that will happen!

You’re very welcome.

I won’t be there; even when living in Bruxelles I did not manage since early February collides with family schedule. I only managed to be there twice in the last 20 years.

Edit :
!!! CANCELLED !!!
Sorry, I posted a bit late last night and actually, I just realised this morning that the studio is rented.
Though it can’t take place this time, I really hope it will next time. Incidentally, you have my handle if you find yourself looking for a linux audio haven in Brussels.

CANCELLED

Ok, here’s the deal : I came home two weeks ago from a 6 month trip so I’m only just reopening the studio and the control room currently looks more like a junk room but heck, let’s do it.
I can receive about 20 people without being too crowded so if you’re in Brussels tomorrow from 6pm onward and want to meet up / jam, hit me up either by email via the form on my (shitty, out of date) website : www.mobiusproduction.be or on matrix @eamonn:tobin.in
I’ll have a few soft and beers but bring your own beverages
This is 100% disorganised, let’s play it by ear.
