Join the LF Energy Community at FOSDEM 2026

Members of the LF Energy are once again managing an Energy devroom at FOSDEM 2026, taking place Jan 31 – Feb 1 in Brussels. The energy devroom helps to foster the broad collaboration that is needed to successfully transform global energy systems though open source.

The devroom will take place on Saturday, Jan 31 in Room AW1.126 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and will also be livestreamed. Attendance at either the virtual or in-person events is completely free of charge, and no advance registration is required.

Accepted sessions cover topics including open source best practices, home energy management, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, energy modeling, forecasting, and more. The full agenda has now been announced, and can be viewed below.

The LF Energy and broader open source energy communities look forward to seeing you in Brussels!
