@fosdem WTF is that bullshit ?
@tnt @fosdem : and Mitchel Baker is talking about AI : https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5495-what-floss-means-in-the-ai-world/
@mirabilos @fosdem @tnt : here’s the official answer from FOSDEM. And it’s awesome:

TL;DR: "free software is by definition political, we expect and encourage peaceful protests but please tell us in advance to ensure we meet fire security requirements."
"... and does not disrupt the proceedings".
Well the whole point of OP was to disrupt the talk so ...
@tnt @mirabilos @fosdem : it’s all about the definition of what "disruptive" means.
And what will be the response to what is perceived as "disruptive".
It’s also all about the number of people who will participate in that protest. Unfortunately, I will not be present but I’m really curious to see how popular it will be.
