Description:

This Year, FOSSDEM (FOSDEM 2025 - Home) is in EUROPE in Bruxelle city (Belgium) and they are opening a Robotics track : [FOSDEM] Call for participation: Robotics and Simulation Room at FOSDEM 2025

Discussing this briefly on discord we get at least 3 developers that mentioned interest to go and probably submit some talks :

I think it would be great if we can sponsors some present there as we did years ago in some US meeting.
The proposal fund would cover some amount (TBD) of the travel and maybe accommodation.
In addition to some gear for the developer : I got an ArduPilot shirt but it would be great if we all get some and maybe some swag ?

Planned amount $$ (USD):

  • Pierre : around 600€ for travel + hostel

Estimated time for completion:

if there is a robotics track then paying for travel from team funds makes sense to me
