FOSDEM is the annual event for all things free and open source software in Europe happening over the 1st weekend in February in Brussels. In this episode I want to talk about one "dev room" (developer room) in particular: the one on Open Research, that has been running since 2020. 

Over the course of a day, we heard from a variety of speakers on topics ranging from climate change to human choreography in computing. 

Curious? Have a listen
