FOSDEM: A two-day volunteer-run free event for the global open source community. Held every year at the end of January in Brussels, it is a massive event of contributors to share code, host community-led "devrooms," and collaborate face-to-face without registration fees or corporate barriers.

• HackerTrain to FOSDEM: An event that's meant to coordinate several train routes to Brussels to bring hackers from all over Europe to FOSDEM and the EU Open Source Week. This means that there will not be one HackerTrain, but several at the same time on different routes and different dates - all converging in Brussels.
