+  FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to
+  meet, share ideas and collaborate.  Renowned for being highly
+  developer-oriented, the event brings together some 8000+ geeks from
+  all over the world.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  The twenty-fifth edition will take place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd
+  February 2025 at the usual location, ULB Campus Solbosch in Brussels.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Developer Rooms</h3>
+
+<p>
+  For more details about submission to Developer Rooms, please refer to each
+  devroom's Call for Participation <a
+href="page:news/2024-10-28-devrooms-announced">listed here</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Main Tracks</h3>
+
+<p>
+  Main track presentations cover topics of interest to a
+  significant part of our audience that do not fit into any of
+  the developer rooms, perhaps because of the topic or the large size of the anticipated audience.
+  Presentations should be 50 minutes long including audience questions.
+  Where necessary, FOSDEM covers reasonable travel expenses agreed in advance
+  and arranges accommodation for accepted main track speakers.
+</p>

+
+<h3>Lightning talks</h3>
+
+<p>
+  Lightning talks are short (15 minute) talks on a wide variety of topics.
+  Anyone who has something interesting to say about a free software or open
+  source project or topic can apply.  We particularly encourage topics that do
+  not fit into any of the other tracks.
