Hi folks,

We've announced CentOS Connect for January 29-30, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium. As usual, this is the two days before FOSDEM.

https://www.centos.org/events/connect/

The CFP and registration are now open. Registration is free, but we really need you to register to help us plan. Details are on the website. We have a hotel room block, but don't have booking link just yet. Check back next week.

We're looking into some options for a reception, which could be on the Thursday or Friday. If you attended last year, you might remember our waffle party. That was a blast, but we completely filled the place with no room to grow. Stay tuned.

We'll also hold a docs day on Monday, February 2, the day after FOSDEM. We've done this the last few years. This is a working session to hack on the website and docs. If you want to join, get in touch with the Docs SIG at sig-docs@centosproject.org .

Let me know if you have any question. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you in Brussels again.

Thanks, Shaun
