๐ Just back from FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels โ and still buzzing! 8,000+ open source minds, 65 beers, 1013 talksโฆ and enough hallway track conversations to fuel a yearโs worth of ideas. This year, I had the chance to connect deeply with the teams from DeepComputing and the RISC-V International Foundation, and I must say: the momentum around open silicon and custom compute is real. Seeing the energy in the RISC-V devroom and chatting about hardware/software co-design reminded me how far open innovation has come โ and where it's going. From Red Hat OpenShift AI to edge GPU orchestration, it was also great to swap stories from the field โ especially how weโre applying these architectures at scale for enterprise-grade AI/ML workloads. Big thanks to everyone who made this weekend not just about code, but about community. If we met, letโs keep the conversation going. If not, see you next year โ or sooner in the next devroom! ๐ก Key takeaways: - RISC-V is getting real traction for AI at the edge. - Hardware is getting more open โ and that unlocks a new class of innovation. - Still amazed by how strong and welcoming the open source community is. #FOSDEM2026 #OpenSource #RISC_V #DeepComputing #Ansible #Kubernetes #OpenShiftAI #EdgeAI #InfraAsCode #DevRoomBuzz #FOSS #MLOps #Belgium #Bruxelles #AI #Innovation #InfraAsCode #CloudNative hashtag#CNCF
