So, anyone else going to OFFDEM in Brussels next month?

I’m going to hold a little Kitten* workshop and take part in the roundtables on the Saturday. Looking forward to seeing some of you there.
Just to clarify, I’m not going to #FOSDEM2023, I’m going to #OFFDEM.
I don’t attend, speak at, or legitimise so-called “free software” (or “human rights”, etc.) conferences that let surveillance capitalists like Google launder their reputations by sponsoring them. I’m only taking part in OFFDEM, which was created in reaction to #FOSDEM’s lack of principles and ethical backbone.
@aral nice, I'll try to attend on Saturday as Sunday I'll manage and talk in the Javascript devroom https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/track/javascript/ but I understand the need. I don't know the details to be honest but will read about because I've always been uncomfortable with the sponsorship, especially as, as a volunteer, I don't get to see any of that but I need to better understand what is actually needed, financing-wise and what are the consequences of it.
@utopiah Cool, here’s to seeing you there :) (I should be there all day Saturday.)
