[![](https://sammy.hk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fosdem-300x225.jpeg)](https://sammy.hk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fosdem.jpeg) 10 years ago, I hopes I will visit [FOSDEM](http://fosdem.org) in Europe with several thousands of open source developers.

It was tearing in my heart to meet with wonderful open source community outsides Hong Kong in person.

It is an only opportunity for Hong Kong people to meet them in Hong Kong, without travel to other cities.

And we looks forward the conference becomes the Hong Kong or Asia version of FOSDEM.
