FOSDEM [3], the Free and Open source Software Developers' European
Meeting, is a non-commercial two-day weekend event organized early
each year in Brussels, Belgium. It is highly developer-oriented and
brings together 8000+ participants from all over the world. The 2022
edition takes place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February. It is free
to attend and no registration is necessary. This year, for obvious
reasons, it has been turned into an online event, just like last year.

In this edition, the Ada FOSDEM community organizes once more 8
hours of presentations related to Ada and Free or Open Software in a
s.c. Developer Room. The "Ada DevRoom" at FOSDEM 2022 is held on the
2nd day of the event, and offers introductory presentations on the
Ada programming language, as well as more specialised presentations
on focused topics, tools and projects: a total of 13 Ada-related
presentations by 12 authors from 8 countries!
