這幾年參加 COSCUP 的朋友會發現除了臺灣在地社群，也越來越多海外開源組織及講者共襄盛舉了！為了帶給大家更豐富的策展內容，COSCUP 籌辦團隊連續第三年攜手開放文化基金會 前往全球最盛大的開源活動 FOSDEM25 參展！ 本文簡單紀錄所見所聞，若有興趣瞭解海外開源發展，請繼續看下去！       1. 關於 FOSDEM   FOSDEM （ Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting ）是一個由志願者組織的免費活動，旨在促進自由和開源軟體的使用與發展。每年，來自世界各地的開發者齊聚在比利時布魯塞爾的法語布魯塞爾自由大學 (Universit é libre de Bruxelles) ，相互交流想法並進行合作。這回的 FOSDEM 2025 已於 2025 年 2 月 1 日和 2 日舉辦     路線 : 從布魯塞爾機場的火車站（ Brussels Airport-Zaventem ）搭乘火車前往布魯塞爾市中心。在布魯塞爾中央車站（ Brussels Central Station ）下車。然後，轉乘 71 路公車，方向為 Delta ，並在 ULB 站下車。整個行程約需 50 分鐘。又或是在市區有訂旅館的話，可以用滑板車邊欣賞布魯塞爾市區風景到會場。     2. 攤位展示 作為全球最大的開源活動， FOSDEM 每年都有超過五十組開源專案或社群展出，難以逐一訪問。   其中幾個筆者比較有趣的是提供虛擬化方案的 Proxmox 、網路方案的 Wireshark ，還有利用目前在開發團隊在格拉斯哥大學，運用 3D 列印與現成硬體製作實驗室級顯微鏡進行開源的 The OpenFlexure Project ，此外還有開源版本的即時戰略遊戲 0 A.D. Empires Ascendant 與開源沙盒遊戲引擎的 Luanti (formerly Minetest) ，最後則是 Chamilo 基於開源的易用性和可訪問性的學習管理系統。   當然也少不了我們自己的攤位！這次除了讓歐洲地區與會者更瞭解臺灣開源運動現況，也借機與當地合作夥伴互動，交換現況。   ...
