FOSDEM 2009

So many people have written about attending FOSDEM that it would take an entire issue of FWN post all of the links. Instead an arbitrarily selection will be randomly chosen.

Pierros Papadeas took[1] a nice set of photos including some general shots of Brussels.

Joerg Simon got[2] some shots of the Fedora booth.
