ah: Libre-SOC is not involved in NGI Search. it's not one of
the participants (not in the Consortium of 3 companies).
as the Libre-SOC Project is not involved could you please
exclude NGI Search? strictly speaking none of us in
Libre-SOC "benefitted".

FOSDEM is one of the largest still-running FOSS events,
having superseded most EU Unix User Groups. it's fantastic
to meet people time and time again, and there is always
something new.

We participate in FOSDEM in order to have a firm stable
base from which to showcase what Libre-SOC can do and
where it is going. After the event the talk schedule and the
videos remain online permanently, which makes them an
incredibly valuable (search-indexed) resource - something
that can often be overlooked by participants.

Overall, FOSDEM is just incredibly valuable and a really nice
experience.
