We’re sponsoring FOSDEM 2026!

At UpCloud, we champion transparency, interoperability, and open standards in cloud computing — which is why we’re proud to be an official sponsor of FOSDEM 2026, Europe’s leading free and open source software event.

What Is FOSDEM?

FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting) is a volunteer-organised two-day conference that brings together thousands of developers, engineers, and open source enthusiasts from around the world. It’s completely free to attend, no registration required — just show up and join in!

At FOSDEM, you’ll find:

• Hundreds of talks, keynotes and main tracks covering the latest in open source technology and community themes, from AI and security to infrastructure and software design.
• Developer Rooms and stands hosted by open source projects and communities.
• Lightning talks, Birds of a Feather sessions, & fringe meetups for spontaneous discussion and community building.

Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or exploring open source for the first time, FOSDEM is where ideas turn into collaboration.

Why we’re excited to be there

At UpCloud, we believe developers should have the freedom to choose the best tools for their workloads without compromise. Our platform puts open source first, offering broad support across:

• Compute and orchestration
• Databases and automation
• Key projects like Ubuntu, Debian, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Valkey, Kubernetes, OpenTofu and more

From core infrastructure to modern cloud architectures, we enable open innovation at scale.

FOSDEM’s spirit — built on sharing, transparency and collaboration — aligns perfectly with our values. We’re proud to support the people and projects that make open source thrive.

We hope to see you in Brussels!
