HackerTrain to FOSDEM 2026 invitation

[hook]

Hi!

The call for participation for the HackerTrain to FOSDEM 2026 is now live!

HackerTrain - Hackertrain to FOSDEM 2026: call for participation

As you may have noticed, since our beta run we have set up:

• a proper website: https://hackertrain.org

• a Matrix and IRC channel (bridged): HackerTrain - Contacts

• an organizational issue/ticket tracker: https://codeberg.org/HackerTrain

You are warmly invited to the chat and help with the website, organisation
and/or outreach … or just tag yourself on the map to join the train

If you are unsure what the HackerTrain is, it is a community-led project to bring together
hackers and geeks travelling to their events (in Europe). A short intro is available on

HackerTrain - About Us

and last year’s discussion of the 2025 beta run on this forum:

HackerTrain to FOSDEM 2025 (invitation)

That’s not that bad. I know that charter from Ljubljana to Brussels and back is about 100 K €, because they need to set up a custom route and all. But the train waits in Brussels, so a long-term dream might be if we can get the sleeper and have it stop at Bruxelles Midi and use it for lodging while staying at FOSDEM.
