title: Replicant at FOSDEM 2016
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
tags: Events, Paul Kocialkowski
---
Just like previous years, Replicant will be at [FOSDEM][1], during the last
weekend of January in Brussels, Belgium.
A lightning talk about [the road to liberating software at the lower
levels][2] will be given at 18:40 on Saturday, in room H.2215 (Ferrer). This
talk will be broader than the scope of Replicant. It will detail how
liberating the software running at the lower levels can prove to be quite
challenging. Those considerations will be made not only regarding the main
processor, but also regarding controllers, peripherals and auxiliary
processors.
As usual, there will also be plenty of other interesting things to see and
nice people to meet!
This year, devices from [Tehnoetic][3] with Replicant preinstalled will be
available for sale on the [FSFE][4] booth, as well as other Replicant goodies,
such as [3D-printed keychains][5]! Remember that part of the sales will go to
Replicant.
We will also organize an informal Replicant developer meeting at some point
during the event, so people interested in contributing to the project are
welcome to join in!
In addition, note that Richard M. Stallman, launcher of the GNU project and
founder of the Free Software Foundation, will be giving a talk about
[Free/Libre/Vrije Software: The Goal and the Path][6] on Friday evening (the
day before FOSDEM), at Brussels Campus Etterbeek, VUB.
