FOSDEM 2009 was a remarkable edition : it featured one of the most interesting talk sets ever, almost up to the point where I regretted not attending the Saturday. It was, as I realised myself suddenly, the edition where cloud computing was prevailing in Open Source : high-availability, database shards and distributed filesystem replication.
Defining your agenda is probably the most difficult task when attending FOSDEM; here's my tracklist :

  • What's new in Drupal 7 ?
  • MySQL-HA
  • Poor man's SAN with CentOS and gPXE
  • OpenSuSE on netbooks
  • SysLinux
  • Ext4
  • Database shards at Netlog

Also spotted : lots and lots of netbooks (me too !), and a first IRL view of an Android device. Neat !
