hope you all had an awesome #FOSDEM, we sure did! All our leaflets gone, many people stopped by to show off their phones or play with ours, and a lot of "wow i really need to get this on my device" we had some amazing talks too at the FOSS on Mobile devroom, and some outreach by @Anjan presenting pmbootstrap in the embedded devroom. Huge thanks to everyone who helped run the stand and (hopefully) not lose their voices in the process :D Safe travels and see you next year
