FOSDEM<\/a> (Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting) is one of the largest gatherings of open-source enthusiasts, developers, and advocates worldwide. Each year there are many focused developer rooms (devrooms), managed by volunteers, and this year’s edition on 3-4 February<\/a> saw the return of the Web Performance devroom managed by Peter Hedenskog from Wikimedia and myself (Dave Hunt) from Mozilla. Thanks to so many great talk proposals (we easily could have filled a full day), we were able to assemble a fantastic schedule<\/a>, and at times the room was full, with as many people standing outside hoping to get in!<\/p>\n

Dive into the talks<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the FOSDEM organisers and preparation from our speakers, we successfully managed to squeeze nine talks into the morning with a tight turnaround time. Here\u2019s a rundown of the sessions:<\/p>\n
